Kemin Industries will exhibit at SupplySide East on Tuesday, April 18, and Wednesday, April 19, in Secaucus, N.J. Attendees are invited to Kemin Human Nutrition and Health’s Booth #500 to learn about the company’s latest health-forward functional ingredients.

Kemin Human Nutrition and Health’s extensive portfolio of science-based ingredients has been clinically found to support vision, cognition, immune and gut health, beauty from within, sleep and weight management.

“The Kemin team is looking forward to meeting with SupplySide East attendees and discussing our latest ingredient innovations and the wide range of health benefits they can deliver,” said Josh Swalla, Global Marketing Director, Kemin Human Nutrition and Health. “Our portfolio of science-backed ingredients can help brands elevate and differentiate a variety of nutrition products, such as functional beverages, food and supplements. Customers can rely on Kemin to deliver high-quality, clinically backed ingredient solutions with health benefits to help improve consumers’ quality of life.”

SupplySide East attendees who visit the Kemin Human Health and Nutrition booth can meet with experts and learn more about the company’s extensive portfolio of science-backed ingredients to support whole-body solutions, including:

•BetaVia™ – now available in new water-dispersible forms for applications such as drink mixes and sachets, this algae-sourced beta glucan helps support the immune system1 while protecting against oxidative stress.2

 • DailyZz™ – a natural, proprietary, botanical blend of dried spearmint and green tea extracts that promotes healthy, better-quality sleep and can improve next-day functioning in healthy adults who have occasional sleep complaints.3
• Neumentix™ – naturally sourced from a patented line of spearmint4 bred for high levels of antioxidant polyphenols, this nootropic ingredient supports cognitive performance5, specifically for focus6 and working memory.7
• Macu-LZ™ – Kemin Human Nutrition and Health’s newest carotenoid ingredient provides a combination of lutein and zeaxanthin isomers sourced from Tagetes erecta that can help relieve eye stress and aid in vision support, cognitive support and beauty from within solutions.8-11
• Luxiva™ CBD distillate – certified organic by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), this hemp-based distillate is the newest addition to the Kemin portfolio that supports general health and wellness.

"We are excited for Kemin to enter a new segment: gut health,” said Swalla. “A recent study showed that our algae-sourced beta glucan for immune support, BetaVia, can also provide gastrointestinal comfort and aid in gut health.12 We will also be releasing a new product soon, which can help support intestinal barrier integrity, shape the microbiome and serve as a signaling molecule.”

SupplySide East attendees can stop by the Kemin Human Nutrition and Health booth for a “sneak peek” of its new products for the gut-health market, as well as exciting upcoming research that examines Kemin’s cognitive support ingredient Neumentix.

Kemin Human Nutrition and Health’s functional ingredients have been used in more than 100 studies to ensure they provide consumers with relevant health benefits that may help improve their quality of life.

Whether for immune health, eye health or general health and wellness, Kemin offers a breadth of innovative solutions to meet manufacturers’ product and brand goals. Visit Kemin Human Nutrition and Health at booth #500.
