The company sees further growth potential in gut health ingredients beyond the established indications for digestive health and immune health.

Global science-based company active in health, nutrition and materials, Royal DSM has acquired BioCare Copenhagen A/S, based in Copenhagen (Denmark). With the acquisition, DSM expands its offering in gut health ingredients with probiotics, an attractive market segment in nutritional ingredients, growing an estimated 7 per cent per year.

DSM already has a strong position in gut health solutions with its Culturelle product range, the number-one-selling probiotic dietary supplement consumer brand globally, as well as with its ingredient brands Oatwell and Tolerase. The company sees further growth potential in gut health ingredients beyond the established indications for digestive health and immune health.

DSM’s ambition in addressing the gut microbiome and its portfolio of nutritional ingredients are very synergetic with BioCare Copenhagen’s approach and products, and the combination is well-catered to address the existing and emerging gut health areas.

BioCare Copenhagen has multi-market distribution agreements with a number of leading dietary supplements and pharmaceutical companies and has launched products in over 40 countries worldwide.
