Food clinical trials for health benefits

Meet the growing demands of consumers for ‘functional’ food and drinks, with ingredients offering health benefits substantiated by NIZO’s food clinical trial expertise 

Food, nutrition and health go hand in hand. Offering substantiated health benefits is an attractive way to add value to your food products, to differentiate them, and to meet consumer demands. Today’s consumers want functional foods that provide health benefits such as digestive comfort, enhanced immunity and infection resistance, and healthy levels of blood sugars and blood lipids, which are associated with lower risk of chronic diseases.

In food clinical trials, the effects of your new or existing ingredients can be investigated in volunteers. The outcomes of these clinical trials provide insight on the ingredient’s impact on humans, add to the evidence of a health benefit, and provide measurable outcomes that meet regulatory requirements.
