Today’s patients and consumers are more demanding of their food than ever before. Not only do food products have to be natural, wholesome and nourishing, they must also have a positive impact on health. All without compromising on taste and texture.
NutriLeads is developing a portfolio of sustainable and natural ingredients to strengthen human health through nutrition.
Our focus
NutriLeads, established in 2012, is a dynamic clinical-stage health ingredients company that develops and commercializes crop-derived food ingredients with clinically proven health benefits. NutriLeads’ proprietary ingredients undergo clinical trials to demonstrate their efficacy in improving human health and are taken through regulatory approval for market access before being licensed out to partner companies, that will incorporate the ingredients in their finished products to bring the benefits to consumers.
We take all our health ingredients through clinical trials to prove their positive effect on human health and gain regulatory approval for market access. All our ingredients are fully protected by a broad intellectual property portfolio of patents.
Ingredients portfolio
With our unique health ingredients platform, we are harnessing the health-giving power of plant-derived RG-I (rhamnogalacturonan-I) compounds. RG-I (Rhamnogalacturonan-I) is a complex polysaccharide. It is part of pectin, which is a major component in the cell walls of all plants. It is also referred to as the complex part or the hairy part of the pectin and it is precisely this complexity of the compound that is responsible for most of its activity. We developed the proprietary extraction method that enables us to unlock the goodness of RG-I from the cell wall of carrot pomace.
We take all our health ingredients through clinical trials to prove their positive effect on human health and gain regulatory approval for market access. Following development and manufacture, we partner with food, beverage and food supplement companies to incorporate our health ingredients into their products and bring the benefits to consumers. All our ingredients are fully protected by a broad intellectual property portfolio of patents.
Partnering
The rights to our unique, proprietary ingredients are then sold or licensed out to ingredient suppliers and food, medical food and dietary supplement companies that will formulate the Health Ingredients into their finished products and bring them to market.
We are a private company headquartered in Wageningen, a world-renowned centre for food research and development in the Netherlands, also known as the ‘Food Valley’. We have received non-dilutive funding from various regional, national and European grants and are backed by VCs.
