Hidden gems: Treasures made by nature

Consumers are increasingly on the lookout for functional foods. From natural helpers for a strong immune system to healthy ways to fight the global epidemics of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases: We conduct extensive research in our quest for promising raw materials that are high in secondary plant substances. Sometimes we find treasures: such as the flavonoid-rich Tartary buckwheat, a species that had almost been forgotten. Another real success story is wheat germ: It turns out it holds the key to more efficient cell recycling – which is why we harness it in SpermidineEvo® – for healthy ageing and a strong immune system.
