CONSUMER HEALTH

The Consumer Health business unit specializes in creating functional ingredients for food supplements and flavor solutions for health care products.

A combination of consumer preferences, changing demographics and socio-economic factors is boosting the market for health products. The trend towards well-balanced and healthy eating habits continues strong: today’s consumers want products that meet several demands at once. On one hand, people want products which are not only “healthy” but also fulfill specific functions – strengthen the heart, rejuvenate the skin, slow the aging process or support physical fitness. On the other hand, healthy products, especially pharmaceuticals, have to taste good in order to boost consumer acceptance.

The Consumer Health business unit meets consumer needs with a wide range of biofunctional ingredients and integrated taste and masking solutions for modern food supplements and health care products.
