BASF Corporation

BASF helps food, beverage and dietary supplement manufacturers make their products more nutritious with a combination of quality ingredients, advanced technologies and scientific expertise. BASF has launched a portfolio of allergen-free and vegetarian formulations, including beta-carotene and vitamins A, D3, E and K1. BASF has also introduced two grades of Coenzyme Q10 to target heart health, brain health, anti-aging effects and chronic disease prevention. On the scientific front, BASF-sponsored research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition demonstrates that a combination of carotenoids (beta-carotene, lycopene and lutein) in dietary supplement form can effectively protect deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from oxidative stress damage.
