Speciality Chemicals

Lactoferrin
Lactoferrin is a naturally occurring iron-binding glycoprotein found in milk and colostrum. It is widely recognized for its immune-supporting, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its ability to regulate iron absorption and support gut health makes it a premium ingredient in infant nutrition, clinical nutrition, and immune-focused formulations.

Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin is a powerful natural carotenoid known for its exceptional antioxidant capacity— significantly stronger than many traditional antioxidants. It supports skin health, eye health, cardiovascular function, and exercise recovery, making it highly valued in nutraceutical and beauty-from-within applications.

Stevia
Stevia is a natural, plant-derived high-intensity sweetener offering sweetness without calories or glycemic impact. It enables sugar reduction while maintaining taste, making it ideal for clean-label, diabetic-friendly, and reduced-calorie food and beverage products.

Pep2Dia®
Pep2Dia® is a bioactive casein-derived peptide clinically studied for supporting postprandial blood glucose management. It helps reduce blood sugar spikes after meals, making it a targeted solution for metabolic health and diabetic nutrition formulations.

Micellar Casein
Micellar casein is a slow-digesting, high-quality milk protein that provides sustained amino acidrelease. It supports prolonged muscle protein synthesis, satiety, and overnight recovery, making it ideal for sports nutrition and meal replacement products.

WPH (Whey Protein Hydrolysate)
Whey Protein Hydrolysate is a pre-digested form of whey protein with rapid absorption and high bioavailability. It supports fast muscle recovery, reduced digestive stress, and quick amino acid delivery, particularly beneficial for sports and clinical nutrition.
Fish Oil
Fish oil is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), essential for heart, brain, joint,and eye health. It is extensively used in preventive health, cardiovascular nutrition, and cognitive support formulations.
