Attendees are invited to visit the Kemin Human Nutrition and Health business unit at booth #5345 to learn more about the latest health-forward functional ingredients, including FloraGLO® Lutein and OPTISHARP™ Natural Zeaxanthin—a duo that was recently showcased in the first National Institutes of Health-funded clinical study on pregnant mothers and babies. Known as the Lutein and Zeaxanthin in Pregnancy (L-ZIP) clinical trial, its findings showed significant improvement in carotenoid levels for both mothers and their newborn infants, which could lead to long-term benefits for visual health and cognitive development.
Kemin Human Nutrition and Health will showcase its portfolio of functional ingredients that deliver a wide range of science-backed health solutions. From the role of Kemin ingredients in digestive aging™ and digestive stress™, to their use in the booming and complex landscape of women’s health, to the impact of these ingredients on children’s health, Kemin offers proven solutions that are ideal for a range of dietary nutrition products, including functional beverages, food, and supplements.
“The Kemin team is excited to be a part of this year’s SupplySide West show,” said Josh Swalla, Global Marketing Director, Kemin Human Nutrition and Health. “We look forward to meeting with attendees at the show, where we will highlight recent developments and how our science-backed solutions can help inspire brands to create a new generation of health and wellness products to support healthier lives.”
Visitors to Kemin’s SSW booth #5345 can learn firsthand about the Kemin Human Nutrition and Health portfolio of science-backed solutions and the latest product innovations that feature them. Kemin will highlight its health-forward ingredients, including:
FloraGLO and OPTISHARP – Kemin offers a portfolio of superior, sustainable carotenoid solutions—with FloraGLO at its core—proven to support vision, cognition, and skin health in numerous studies.
Kemin experts will be available to discuss the recent L-ZIP clinical trial, funded by the National Institutes of Health’s prestigious National Eye Institute, which showed that supplementing pregnant mothers with both FloraGLO and OPTISHARP improved carotenoid status in both mothers and babies and demonstrated improvement in infants’ eye development, providing compelling evidence that lutein and zeaxanthin should become an essential standard of care for pregnant mothers.
In addition, Kemin will share new topline results from the first clinical trial studying FloraGLO in healthy pre-teens and teenagers consuming a Western diet. The recent LuTEEN trial showcases efficacy in both the eye and brain with only five milligrams of FloraGLO in a commercial sugar-free gummy.
ButiShield™ – An encapsulated form of calcium butyrate provides controlled release of butyric acid to support gut health, digestive aging, and digestive stress.
SSW visitors can find out more about the power of digestive adaptogens and how they may help build resilience to stressors that affect the digestive system. Kemin can help customers determine how to deliver the right dosage of butyric acid based on the fiber gap of their products.
BetaVia™ – This algae-sourced, postbiotic beta-glucan can help prime key immune cells, shape the microbiome, and protect intestinal barrier integrity to support digestive aging and digestive stress.
DailyZz™ – Kemin’s natural, proprietary botanical blend rich in polyphenols is clinically shown to promote post-sleep brain benefits, including improved mental speed and focus, decision making, and visual recall.
