Adding nutrients naturally with Nutri Essentials
Component content
As well as living and eating healthily, today’s consumers are increasingly seeking out powerhouse food and beverage products with highly specific benefits.
Featuring a whole host of naturally-derived functional vitamins, minerals and fibres, our Nutri Essentials ingredient portfolio places you at the forefront of this new movement. We have the whole food nutrients you need, from superfruits to supergrains and from farm to fermentation.
Health from within
Consumers are increasingly looking to nutrition to improve their overall wellbeing, embracing a more holistic approach to health by swinging in favour of food and beverages packed with whole food nutrients. Different life stages and lifestyles require different approaches. Whether in response to pregnancy or ageing, veganism or vegetarianism, or because a localised diet demands it, everyone has different deficiencies they want to address.
As a result, producers are exploring ways to enhance the nutritional profile of their products. By becoming a ‘natural source’ of a particular vitamin or ‘rich in’ a specific mineral, the food and beverage industry can provide consumers with the go-to ingredients they desire.

Superfruits – vitamin C from acerola
The acerola cherry is a superfruit cultivated in the northeast region of Brazil. One of the richest natural sources of vitamin C, phytonutrients and antioxidants, it’s a hero ingredient for Givaudan.
As such, we apply our commitment to sustainability by working with local producers to responsibly source from small scale farms in Brazil, ensuring precise traceability, environmental stewardship and social responsibility.

Superveggies – vitamin A from carrot
The carrot offers a familiar, plant-based ingredient with a vibrant colour and antioxidant effect. Carrots contain carotenoids, a natural provitamin A, which the body converts into vitamin A.
Our carrots can be traced to the field, where they are grown by small, responsible suppliers in Germany.

Supergrains – beta-glucans from oat
Fibre and protein are essentials for a healthy diet. Today’s well-read consumers know just how important they are in reducing the risk of developing many conditions, including high cholesterol and heart disease. It’s why plant-based ingredients, heavy in fibre and protein, form a cornerstone of our Nutri Essentials portfolio.
OatWell™ is one of our unique nutritional ingredients. It relies on the beneficial power of oats, with fewer calories. Very adaptable, it supplements products seamlessly, bringing with it identifiable clean label health benefits. High in beta-glucans, it slows down digestion, reduces cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and promotes gut health.
