Described as “the industry’s most coveted awards – similar to the Oscars!”, the NutraIngredients-USA Awards focus on true innovation, long-term market success and cutting-edge research. The awards honor the best and brightest in ingredients, finished products, companies, people and initiatives in the nutrition and dietary supplements industry.
Commenting on being named a finalist, a spokesperson for Mibelle Biochemistry, a finalist in the Beauty from Within Ingredient category for AnaGain Nu, said: “To us the NutraIngredients-USA Award is the most desirable award for a company who develops active ingredients for the health supplement space.”
A spokesperson for the ingredient enfinity (NNB Nutrition, distributed by TSI Group), said: “Being a finalist in the Ingredient of the Year category for cognitive ingredients is a major milestone for enfinity. It signifies industry recognition of the unique benefits of enfinity and the evolution that’s happening in the cognitive function space. It motivates us to continue in research and development efforts, ensuring we remain at the forefront of innovation in the nootropic market.”
Solnul was named as a finalist in the Start-up of the Year category. A spokesperson for the company told us: “Being a finalist is tremendously important to us because it acknowledges our team's hard work and partner’s success. It reinforces our position as leaders in the industry and pioneers in the resistant starch category, providing us with a platform to share our breakthroughs and insights with a broader audience.
“This recognition not only enhances our credibility with consumers and partners but helps to extend our reach and impact in the community.”

It's another way to show the industry and consumers that we have truly put in the time and effort to develop a best-in-class ingredient to help support healthy aging.”
Femme by SynBalance is a finalist in the Microbiome Modulation Ingredient category, and a spokesperson told us: “Being a finalist in the NutraIngredients Award USA is immensely important to us as it validates our hard work and innovative approach in the nutraceutical industry. It acknowledges our commitment to scientific research and the development of effective solutions for women's health through microbiome modulation.
“This award would strengthen our credibility and visibility in the North America market, especially after the EU recognition in the same category, helping us build stronger relationships with local partners and customers.”
