Enhancing Digestive Health with Kemin: Innovative Solutions for Supplement Manufacturers

Posted July 15, 2024

At Kemin, we are committed to advancing digestive health through our innovative ingredient solutions. Our approach to ingredient development is centered around two critical factors: efficacy and formulation.

Efficacy

When we bring a product to market, we prioritize its effectiveness. This involves identifying the active molecules within the ingredient and understanding how they function in the body. Clinical trials are crucial in this process to substantiate the ingredient's benefits and ensure it delivers the desired results.

Formulation

The next step is integrating these effective ingredients into consumer-friendly products. This requires a meticulous approach to quality and formulation, ensuring that the ingredients maintain their integrity and efficacy when incorporated into various products. We strive to develop ingredients that can be seamlessly incorporated into diverse formulations, providing consumers with reliable and effective digestive health solutions.

Kemin's Portfolio of Ingredients Supporting Digestive Wellness

Kemin offers a range of innovative ingredients designed to support various aspects of gastrointestinal function. Here are some highlights from our portfolio:

Our latest ingredient, ButiShield, is an encapsulated butyric acid specifically designed for gut health. Butyric acid has long been recognized for its benefits, but its application in supplements has been challenging due to its instability. Our encapsulation process enhances its usability in formulations and ensures a delayed release throughout the gut.1 Given the extensive length of the intestinal tract (approximately 26 feet)2, this sustained delivery is crucial for maximizing the benefits of butyric acid.

Derived from algae, BetaVia is a source of beta-glucans primarily aimed at supporting immune health. Clinical trials have shown significant improvements in gastrointestinal comfort and intestinal barrier function in participants using BetaVia, highlighting its dual role in supporting both immune and digestive health.3

Collaborating with Supplement Manufacturers for Tailored Solutions

At Kemin, we believe in the power of collaboration to develop unique ingredient solutions tailored to the evolving needs and preferences of consumers in the digestive health market. Our collaborative approach includes several key aspects:

Partnering with Customers

We work closely with supplement manufacturers to understand their specific needs and challenges. This partnership allows us to bring our innovative ingredients to life in their products, enhancing their efficacy and appeal.

Support from Substantiation to Formulation

Our customer lab service team offers expertise in formulation, providing guidance on how to incorporate our ingredients effectively. This includes troubleshooting issues such as flavor profiles and ensuring the active ingredients are accurately analyzed and optimized.

Consumer-Friendly Science

We help translate complex scientific information into consumer-friendly messaging, making it easier for consumers to understand the benefits of our ingredients.

Conclusion

Kemin is dedicated to advancing digestive health through innovative ingredient solutions. Our focus on efficacy and formulation ensures that our products deliver reliable and effective results.
