SECAUCUS, NEW JERSEY, (March 26, 2025) – Kemin Industries, a global ingredient manufacturer that strives to sustainably transform the quality of life every day for 80 percent of the world with its products and services, is exhibiting at SupplySide Connect in Secaucus, New Jersey, on Tuesday, April 8, and Wednesday, April 9. Attendees can visit Kemin at booth #614 to gain insight into ingredient solutions that support a positive health journey.
“The Kemin team is excited to meet with SupplySide Connect attendees and discuss our science-backed health ingredients that transform lives and shape a healthier, brighter future for everyone,” said Filipa Quintela, Associate Director of Global Marketing, Kemin Human Nutrition & Health.
Visitors to the Kemin Human Nutrition & Health booth #614 will find ingredient solutions that support a positive health journey with solutions for eye, brain, skin, digestive, and gut-immune health, including:
- Digestive Health – The human body has natural defenses that can help combat digestive aging and stress. Digestive adaptogens naturally increase resistance to digestive stressors and build upon the body’s natural defenses. Kemin ingredients BetaVia™, a beta 1,3 glucan,1,2 and ButiShield™, encapsulated calcium butyrate,3,4 are effective molecules that have shown capacity to support the body’s defenses, acting as digestive adaptogens and helping the body build resilience to stressors and challenges to support a healthy gut.1,5
- Eye, Brain, and Skin Health – Eye, brain, and skin health are important for all ages and stages of life with lutein playing a pivotal nutritional role. Kemin offers a portfolio of functional ingredients derived from marigold flowers, FloraGLO®, OPTISHARP®, and Macu-LZ™, that delivers a range of clinically proven solutions to support a positive health journey at all ages and stages. Rooted in science, with an unparalleled reputation for efficacy, trust, and safety, the FloraGLO® name is synonymous with excellence.
- Neuronutrition – Neuronutrition merges two concepts: the importance of food and its nutritional content, and its impact on neurons, the fundamental units of neural tissues. Neumentix™ is naturally sourced from a patented line of spearmint with a unique phenolic complex. This revolutionary nootropic redefines the approach to cognition through neuronutrition. Research has demonstrated that its unique phenolic complex can act on stressed or aged neural tissues in the brain and eyes through multiple mechanisms of action, promoting resilience, adaptability, and survival of neural cells.6-16
- Positive Aging – Aging is not only inevitable but can be a positive journey. By supporting positive aging with the proper nutritional ingredients, Kemin aims to enhance both the quality and enjoyment of life for every body. When considering positive aging, several key areas stand out as critical for maintaining a high quality of life: eye and brain health, digestive health, gut-immune interaction, sleep quality, and weight management. Rooted in science, Kemin’s nutritional solutions provide reassurance on their effectiveness in supporting positive aging.
Kemin Human Nutrition & Health strives to set the standards for sustainable health and wellness by delivering innovative, science-backed health ingredients that transform lives and shape a healthier, brighter future for everyone.
