Solabia Nutrition

An ingredient group founded in 1972 that develops, produces and distributes active and functional ingredients for multiple industries worldwide, including nutrition and dietary supplements, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and microbiology. The company originated in enzymatic hydrolysis and has broadened its technology base over time through acquisitions and internal development, so that its stated strengths are an innovation-oriented strategy, a set of complementary technical skills across the group's businesses, and a worldwide presence supported by an extensive distribution network. Research capability is presented as the core asset, with in-house researchers combining biochemical expertise with mastery of the group's production technologies to give customers complementary and additional areas of expertise from a single supplier. One major product family is organometallic mineral salts based on pidolate chemistry: calcium pidolate, magnesium pidolate, iron pidolate and zinc pidolate are supplied as physiologically active carriers of their respective minerals for nutritional supplementation, alongside L-pidolic acid itself, a lactam of glutamic acid present in skin, bone and brain tissue and used as a biologically active transporter. Chondroitin sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan and major constituent of cartilage and bone, is offered as a joint health active. A second major family is bacteriological peptones and extracts used as culture media components and growth supplements for fermentation, pharmaceutical and diagnostic applications, including acid casein hydrolysate, bacteriological malt extract, bacteriological yeast extract, bovine meat extract and peptone, beef heart infusion, and a broadbean peptone that is free of allergen, GMO and animal-origin concerns and certified Halal and Kosher. Environmental, social and governance considerations, lower-impact process technologies and biodiversity are described as pillars of the group's growth and innovation agenda.
