A brighter future in the fight against hidden hunger: How our new dry vitamin A form was developed to tackle malnutrition
dsm-firmenich’s Dry Vitamin A Palmitate NI solution can overcome flour fortification challenges and combat hidden hunger.
Our Market-ready solutions provide cost-effective, science-based supplementation to vulnerable groups at risk of malnutrition. These include pregnant women, infants and young children with heightened nutritional requirements.
Our pre-designed, finished products can be implemented quickly into existing manufacturing processes with minimal adaptation, delivering impact for populations that need them most – fast. Drawing on our technical expertise, we provide optimized formulations that are ready for commercialization to significantly shorten the product development process.
Efficacy, palatably and quality are cornerstones of every nutritional solution we develop for mothers and babies. For example, the fortified micronutrient blends we’ve co-created are appealing to children and deliver the heightened levels of vitamins and minerals that are necessary for little stomachs growing fast.
By improving nutrition early in life through solutions like MNPs, MMS and fortified kernels, we support our partners to unlock the potential in every child.
Fortified kernels
Blended into rice at 0.5-2%, our customized micronutrients effectively improve nutritional intake and address deficiencies without impacting taste or preparation.
Micronutrient powders (MNPs)
MNPs are highly effective at improving health outcomes, reducing anemia prevalence by 31% and iron deficiency by 51% in infants and young children, for instance.1
Multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS)
Our affordable MMS can help reduce preterm births by 6-8% and reduce overall infant mortality by 29%, compared to iron and folic acid supplements (IFAS) alone.2
