NutriLeads

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 or ease of consumption. NutriLeads is looking to help people strengthen their health by identifying and developing natural ingredients with clinically proven health benefits. NutriLeads is a dynamic clinical-stage Health Ingredients company that develops crop-derived food ingredients with clinically proven health benefits for specific patient and consumer groups. Our proprietary natural ingredients support human physiology, beneficially modulate the gut microbiome, and are upcycled. Our award-winning ingredient, BeniCaros, had been clinically demonstrated to train immune system by accelerating the innate protective response, increase resistance to respiratory infections and improve quality of life. BeniCaros is upcycled from carrot pomace, a by-product of carrot juice production. BeniCaros is a natural, plant-based, label friendly ingredient with broad applicability and can be easily incorporated into supplements, beverages and functional foods. All of 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 who will incorporate the ingredients in their finished (food) products. 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.
