DSM Food Specialties is a global supplier of advanced ingredients for the food and beverage industries, primarily manufactured with the aid of fermentation and enzyme technology. Its products contribute in a major way to the success of the world's favorite dairy, processed food, soft drink, fruit juice, alcoholic beverage and functional food brands.
InsuVital is a unique ingredient which represents a breakthrough in diabetes management. For the first time manufacturers can create products clinically proven to help type 2 diabetes patients actively manage glucose levels after mealtimes. InsuVital is a natural, extensively hydrolysed casein consisting of bioactive peptides which work with the body to release insulin after intake. This results in a reduction in glucose levels post-meal similar to those seen in non-diabetics and improved overall blood sugar maintenance.
A highly versatile powder, InsuVital can be incorporated into a wide range of food and beverage applications. Clinical trials have shown that consuming foods containing InsuVital both stimulates insulin secretion and improves glucose disposal. Not only is this new ingredient beneficial to those people wishing to maintain healthy glucose levels, it also responds to the growing need for a food-based solution that will help slow down the onset and progress of high blood glucose.
