Premix solutions for equitable nutrition
What are premixes?
Our Premix solutions are convenient, custom-formulated uniform blends of multiple micronutrients that can be used to manufacture supplements or fortify foods without protracted processing.
We can also customize each premix with exact blends of vitamins and minerals to meet your beneficiaries’ specific needs and key deficiencies. For example, one premix containing vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, folic acid, iron and zinc is used to fortify rice, and has been shown to have a positive impact on health and nutrition status.1
Supporting impactful nutritional interventions
Premix solutions are cost-effective in large-scale initiatives, such as food fortification or supplement distribution programs.2 Specially selected to ensure compatibility with widely consumed staple foods, our premixes help streamline operations too. They can be incorporated into existing manufacturing processes without needing to separately source, store and add multiple ingredients.
