Abstract:
As plant-based diets surge from niche to mainstream, millions are embracing a lifestyle rooted in ethics, sustainability, and wellness. But beneath the surface of this global movement lies a hidden nutritional challenge: anti-nutrients. Found in staples like legumes and seeds, these compounds can significantly reduce the absorption of essential minerals—leaving even the most mindful eaters at risk of deficiencies. In this webinar, Eric Ciappio, Sr Mgr - Nutrition Science, and Oliver Riemann, Sr Mgr - Marketing & Business Development at Balchem Human Nutrition & Health, will uncover the science behind this silent barrier and explain how brands can help consumers with chelated minerals from Albion® to get the most out of their supplements. You’ll discover:
- Why traditional supplementation may fall short for plant-based consumers
- How anti-nutrients like phytates and oxalates disrupt mineral absorption
- The power of chelation chemistry to enhance bioavailability and tolerability
- Concepts of how Albion® amino acid chelates help brands to differentiate toward vegetarians, vegans, or flexitarians - everyone who prefers a plant-rich diet.
Whether you’re a brand formulator, nutritionist, or simply passionate about plant-based living, this webinar will equip you with the insights to elevate your approach to nutrition—and help consumers truly thrive. Don’t miss the chance to explore how science-backed innovation is reshaping the future of plant-rich nutrition.
