Early Life

Our nutritional solutions meet the highest safety standards and support healthy physical and cognitive development, through all stages of childhood. From infants, to toddlers, to preschoolers, and beyond, we offer safe, science-based solutions you can trust during one of life’s most sensitive and crucial stages.

Bioactive Ingredients

We use advanced processing technologies to make bioactive ingredients, including our popular Bioferrin® lactofferin and TruCal® solutions, that are formulated to help children meet developmental milestones.

Our Solutions

Bioferrin® Lactoferrin

This natural, bioactive milk protein is isolated from fresh, sweet whey using advanced fractionation and separation processing technologies. Its iron binding and immune modulating benefits support immune health and the balance and absorption of iron within the body. An excellent solution for infant formula, ready-to-mix powders, chewables, effervescents, bars, tablets, and capsules. 

CuroWhite®

All of the benefits of curcumin but white for easier manufacturing. The lack of color and the milder taste and smell make it ideal for many applications such as tablets, capsules, powder drink mixes, functional foods, ready-to-drink beverages and gummies.

MenaQ7® Vitamin K2 MK-7

This first-in-class, only clinically researched vitamin K2 (MK-7) binds to calcium that gets lodged along the arterial walls and shuttles it to the bone, where it is needed. Only MenaQ7 is clinically validated and patented for cardiovascular benefits. An excellent solution for tablets, capsules, softgels, powder drink mixes and funtional foods.

NeoShield®

A concentrated whey protein produced using our selective transfer membrane system, which concentrates whey components such as Milk Fat Globule Membrane phospholipids, Lactoferrin and Immunoglobulins targeted at supporting toddlers, children and maternal health (pregnant and nursing mothers). An excellent solution for powder drink mixes and bars. 

Salibra®

A bioactive whey concentrate rich in Immunoglobulins, growth factors and Lactoferrin, providing nutrient rich defense  for significant stages of life. Excellent solution for powder drink mixes.

Edible Films

Through decades of film processing experience, Glanbia Nutritionals has honed its expertise in the development of soluble and edible film technology. 

Our Solutions

EdiSparklz® Edible Glitter

EdiSparklz are colorful toppings and inclusions that can be used in a wide range of applications. 100% edible, EdiSparklz have no flavor, no sweetness and add no calories. They are available in a wide range of flakes or shapes, and are manufactured in a full spectrum of colors including standard, plant-based and metallic colors. EdiSparklz are a very cost-effective alternative to standard decorative options like sprinkles, and save customers an average of 20% by switching.

Sol-U-Pak®

A Sol-U-Pak is a pouch that is soluble in cold water. The pouch is made entirely of edible packaging film. All components of this film have FDA approval for food use. Sol-U-Paks can be used for both industrial and consumer applications.

For Industrial application in bakeries and food manufacturers: Every step taken out of a production process yields bottom-line benefits. This may occur through reduced labor inputs, increased product throughputs, or a reduction in quality defects. It’s no surprise. Therefore, that production streamlining is critical today—we pre-measure minor ingredients into Sol-U-Pak edible film pouches. The Sol-U-Pak pouch is simply thrown on top of the other ingredients in the mixer. The pouch only takes about 10 to 20 seconds to dissolve.

NutraShield®- Micronencapsulations

NutraShield microencapsulated nutrients have a protective coating called a matrix applied around the nutrients core. The matrix keeps the active ingredient locked in and stabilized.

Microencapsulation enhances the impact and function of nutrients in a variety of ways, including masking odors and flavors, improving stability, controlling color intensity, converting oils to powders and delaying the release of nutrient. These ingredients are commonly used in dietary supplements, bars, cereals, snacks, powder drink mixes, beverages, infant nutrition, and medical food, to name a few. Methods used include core and shell encapsulation and matrix encapsulation.

GranulPlex®- Granulations

GranulPlex granulated nutrients are formed through creating single particles from multiple small and large particles. 

Granulation allows for improved instantization, providing a significant improvement in dispersibility. It also allows for a better performing compressible powder. The result is a free flowing powder that allows for uniform fill in the dies and its cohesive properties promote tablet hardness and minimizes friability.  Ideal for use in supplement tablets, chewables and effervescents. 

UniTrit®- Triturations

UniTrit triturated nutrients are standardized on a carrier for homogeneous delivery of nutrients.

Trituration allows for easier distribution in the final blend and for ease of scaling. Triturated Nutrients can be customized to any level of active to carrier ratio or percentage.
