Dutch nutritional health ingredients startup NutriLeads B.V. announces the signing of a collaboration agreement with DSM Nutritional Products for the further development of its lead ingredient.

Following the successful closure of a seed investment in October 2015, NutriLeads announces that it has initiated a collaboration with DSM Nutritional Products to speed up development and to scale up production of its leading ingredient, a proprietary novel polysaccharide to support immune function and increase resistance to infections.

Dr Ruud Albers, CEO of Nutrileads: “I am very pleased that we embark on this co-development with DSM Nutritional Products, a strong partner committed to innovation. The experience and scale of DSM Nutritional Products will help to bring the benefits of our proprietary ingredient faster to consumers and patients”.
