GIVAUDAN LAVIROTTE

Development and manufacturing of high purity organic mineral salts under GMP conditions, for pharma, cosmetic, nutrition and veterinary applications.

Various types of organic chemical reactions, purification and drying processes (spray-drying, cristallization, filtration...).

Mineral salts of high bioavailability, without side-ef- fects and having good organoleptic properties. The minerals used (calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, cop- per, manganese...) are coupled with organic vectors of vegetal origin (glycerophosphate, gluconate, aspartate...), allowing an optimized assimilation by the metabolism. They are used to treat mineral deficiencies, and also sometimes show unexpec- ted properties (synergy with metformin for diabete treatment, urinary tract disorders treatment, impro- vement of cardiovascular system, cold prevention and treatment, fertility improvement...). In cosmetics, they improve skin hydration, fight against free-radicals responsible for skin ageing. Zinc salts also have antibacterial and antifungal properties, helping to treat acne and providing skin astringence.
