| Products carrying these quality seals on the packaging show the consumer that they contain premium ingredients from Lonza, a high quality supplier based in Switzerland. “We are glad to now have a consistent look for our health ingredients, as recognisability is key. Our branding concept reflects the quality and reliability that make Lonza’s nutrition products trusted by both our customers and the end consumers”, says Mike DeGennaro, Global Head Marketing & Sales Nutrition at Lonza. The launch of this new brand name and quality seal can also be considered a commitment to this business. DHAid™ is produced from microalgae in a controlled process in fermentation vessels.
