Gut health
Feeding the ‘second brain’
The gut is now thought of as our "second brain" – with consumers showing an increasing understanding of how gut health goes beyond digestion issues and relates to our overall health and wellbeing.
But the gut is also a complex, highly interdependent system comprised of trillions of microorganisms that’s as distinctive for each of us as our fingerprints. What you need is a partner that understands these complexities and can help you support general gut health and better digestion for consumers worldwide: dsm-firmenich.
Our wide range of vitamins, digestive enzymes, probiotics, cultures? and more are designed to modulate the microbiome and deliver great gut health (and indeed overall health benefits). What’s more, our science-backed solutions are ideal for creating compelling front-of-pack claims based on unrivalled quality that also reduces your value chain complexity.

Consumer insight
What are global consumers thinking (and how are they acting) when it comes to health concerns?
Our solutions
Healthier gut
Did you know that 50% of global consumers find health claims on food and drinks related to maintenance of normal intestinal/digestive
function appealing?
Health-conscious consumers are increasingly turning to functional foods and beverages over nutritional supplements – for a variety of reasons, including sensory appeal, convenience and affordability.
Fortified gummies, for example, are gaining popularity as they bridge the gap between food and supplements. But through our customized nutritional premixes we can fortify all kinds of products with various gut-friendly ingredients. For example, vitamins A, B2, B3, B7 and Calcium can all help address general gut function – contributing to the maintenance of internal lining (barrier) of the gut membranes .
But why stop there? Vitamins C, D and E can also play a role, along with zinc and biotin.
Digestible benefits
Nearly half (49%) of global consumers would like to improve their digestive health over the next 12 months and 56% of them like to see digestive health claims in yogurts .
With our portfolio of probiotics, cultures and lactose-free enzymes we can help you address that need – not just in yogurt, but across the entire dairy segment and beyond.
Just one example is our versatile Delvo®Pro probiotics. It works with all kinds of fermented dairy applications, from drinkable yogurts to stirred yogurts, Greek yogurts and sour milk products - creating healthier yogurt for consumers with the taste and texture they love.
