NutriLeads develops and supplies plant‑based precision prebiotic fibers, principally BeniCaros, aimed at improving immune and gut health. BeniCaros is produced from upcycled carrot pomace and is clinically proven to train faster, smarter and stronger innate immune responses and consistently modulate the gut microbiome. The ingredient features a low daily serving size (as low as 300 mg) and an attractive formulation profile for foods, beverages and dietary supplements. NutriLeads plans to expand into new consumer markets and geographies, pursue additional health applications and seek development partnerships in pet and animal nutrition. The company says recent funding will accelerate commercialization and support creation of a global precision prebiotic brand. NutriLeads is based in Wageningen, The Netherlands. NutriLeads develops natural food ingredients with clinically proven health benefits for application in dietary supplements and functional foods. Its proprietary lead ingredient, Xtramune, is a carrot-derived fibre intended to support immune function and resistance to respiratory infections. The company plans to launch Xtramune and drive it toward commercialization in 2021 with global partners in the food and supplement industry. Two other ingredients in its portfolio, targeting gut health and metabolic health, will be progressed to proof of concept in humans. NutriLeads closed a €6.5M Series B financing to fund these activities. The company was established in 2012 and is based in Wageningen.
