How Does Balchem Support Companies?
For companies developing functional foods, beverages, or supplements, delivering essential minerals in a way that’s effective, stable, and consumer-friendly is a persistent challenge.
Whether you’re formulating for bone health, cognitive support, or metabolic function, the right nutrient strategy can make or break a product.
Balchem’s Human Nutrition & Health division works with leading brands to solve these challenges. We help companies integrate high-performing mineral and nutrient technologies into their products, without compromising on taste, stability, or label appeal.
Helping You Meet the Demands of Today’s Market
Consumers are looking for more than just calories. They want products that support long-term health, align with clean-label values, and deliver real, measurable benefits.
At the same time, manufacturers need solutions that are:
- Technically sound and easy to formulate
- Scalable across global supply chains
- Compliant with evolving regulatory standards
Balchem helps companies bridge this gap with a portfolio of mineral and nutrient technologies designed for performance, flexibility, and consumer trust.
How We Help Companies Formulate with Confidence
Improve Nutrient Absorption with Chelated Minerals
Many products fail to deliver on their health promises because the nutrients they contain aren’t well absorbed. We help companies overcome this with chelated minerals, which are nutrients bound to organic ligands that enhance bioavailability and reduce digestive discomfort.
Our minerals & nutrients are ideal for companies developing supplements, functional foods, or medical nutrition products where efficacy and tolerability are critical.
Our Minerals & Nutrients
Formulate for Stability and Taste with Mineral Salts and Complexes
For beverage and food manufacturers, nutrient stability and sensory performance are just as important as efficacy. Balchem works with your team to select mineral formats that:
- Dissolve well in liquid systems
- Withstand heat, and works in a wide pH range
- Reduce risking off-flavors and texture issues with our dedicated solutions
This makes it easier to develop fortified beverages, dairy alternatives, and shelf-stable foods that meet both technical and consumer expectations.
Streamline Development with Custom Nutrient Blends
When speed and precision matter, we help companies simplify formulation. You can choose from fully customized premixes or select from proven combinations that align with your brand’s nutritional positioning. These blends are:
- Strategically formulated to support your product’s health claims and delivery format
- Manufactured under rigorous quality and traceability standards to ensure consistency and compliance
- Backed by technical documentation and regulatory support to simplify approvals and accelerate time to market
Whether you’re launching a new product or reformulating an existing one, we help you move faster with fewer formulation hurdles.
