The challenge – providing a complete service offering to the industry
Nutraceuticals are products that in addition to supplying nutrition also offer a physiological benefit or provide potential protection against certain diseases and conditions. With consumer demand for these products increasing, there is a greater to have a complete service offering to the global health products industry throughout the innovation life cycle. In order to provide this enhanced platform, SGS added adjacent solutions including end to end clinical trial solutions, full service strategic regulatory consulting, and testing based product certification programs which allow brands to showcase premium quality.
Acquisition of Nutrasource
The acquisition of Nutrasource in May 2023 means that SGS is now able to provide the global health products industry with this full set of services on a truly global scale.
With this strengthening of our existing capabilities from food to pharmaceuticals, and all health product categories in between, SGS can offer full global support for product innovation, as well as the research and development required to create intellectual property, enhance market position around claims, and achieve defendable regulatory success in the US, Canadian and EU markets.
How our solution helps society
Since its acquisition, SGS Nutrasource has achieved many synergies working within the greater SGS network ecosystem of scientific solutions. With an enhanced market position in key geographies across Asia, the European Union and North America, many of the company’s product certification programs are now globally supported across the SGS lab network by region.
This means we can assist clients in the global health products industry with even more efficient timelines for achieving and maintaining certification status, as they seek to fulfil their own mission to support healthier options for the global consumer around products with substantiated science and with regulatory confidence.
