Nutrition is driving research and development of new products across the globe as manufacturers position themselves to provide healthy solutions for consumers looking to address their health through diet. FMC has been a valued partner in the formulating of these healthy food and supplements through the BioPolymer Group which provides functional core ingredients like alginates, carrageenan and microcrystalline cellulose that provide physical structure, texture and stability.

Building on this reputation, FMC BioPolymer will move into the active ingredient category with the launch of the Protasea portfolio of nutraceuticals, a line of marine based nutritional ingredients.

Cultures around the world have revered the health benefits of seaweed for generations and today FMC BioPolymer is poised to introduce the health enhancing qualities of seaweed and seaweed’s active components to customers and consumers around the globe.
