Functional ingredients for powders, bars and beverages — built for performance, taste and scale for every stage of life

Consumers of every age are taking nutrition into their own hands — actively managing their energy, weight and long-term health. High-protein, low-sugar and clean-label concepts have moved from niche to baseline expectation. Ready-to-mix powders, bars and fortified beverages keep up with busy routines, while plant-based options, transparent sourcing and evidence-based functionality reshape how brands formulate and communicate value.

What does this mean from the perspective of product development and innovation? Taste, texture and stability that hold up across formats — without compromising on protein content, sugar reduction or label clarity. Indulgence still matters. So does scalable, cost-efficient sourcing and the formulation flexibility needed to shift between everyday wellness concepts and performance-driven positioning. Speed to market separates the brands that lead from those that follow.

Let’s solve your challenge!

Together, we'll identify the right solution for your process, formulation, and labeling needs.

From powder to bar to bottle: functional building blocks for lifestyle nutrition

Looking for solutions that deliver nutritional performance and sensory appeal in the same formula? AGRANA supplies starch-based texturizers, powdered nutrition systems, functional carbohydrate platforms, sweetening and fruit ingredients for lifestyle nutrition formats. We structure texture, optimize sweetness profiles and enhance mouthfeel — so manufacturers can focus on positioning, flavor and speed to shelf.

Solutions & Preparations

Integrated systems that simplify formulation and compress development timelines. AGRANA's plant-based powdered nutrition systems reduce complexity at every stage — from pilot to production — while maintaining the stability, sensory quality and nutritional integrity that lifestyle nutrition demands.

Starch Products

From instant functionality to clean-label performance: our starch portfolio shapes texture, stability and processing robustness in modern lifestyle nutrition formats. Powders, ready-to-mix systems and functional beverages all benefit from starches that deliver predictable viscosity, mouthfeel and shelf-life performance.

Betaine

Science-backed and naturally derived, betaine supports cellular hydration, osmotic balance and exercise recovery which benefits wellbeing in every situation of life. That makes it a strong candidate for performance drinks, protein shakes and wellness-oriented formulations where credible functional claims drive consumer choice.

Beverage Bases

From concept to cup: beverage lineup streamlines the development of lifestyle nutrition drinks with consistent taste, texture and batch stability. Our compounds and ready-to-use systems reduce formulation complexity and accelerate time to market for functional beverages, protein drinks and ready-to-drink formats.

Flavors

Lifestyle nutrition matrices are tough on taste — proteins, botanicals and added vitamins can distort taste and mask character. Our flavor portfolio is built to perform in these challenging systems, keeping profiles recognizable and appealing even when the formulation fights back.

Fruit Specialties

Fruit-based ingredients that bring authentic taste and natural positioning to lifestyle nutrition products. Our fruit juice concentrates and NFC juices deliver natural flavor, controlled sweetness and clean-label appeal – ideal for formats where real fruit character and familiarity resonate with consumers.

Sugars & Sweeteners

Sweetening and solids-building solutions balance taste and functionality across lifestyle nutrition products. From ready-to-drink formats to powdered mixes, our liquid starch sweeteners optimize sensory profiles while maintaining the manufacturability and process consistency that production at scale requires.

Lifestyle Nutrition expertise from concept to shelf

AGRANA supports manufacturers in taking products from concept to commercial scale. We advise on ingredient selection, formulation development and application testing – and provide technical guidance, specification support and reliable supply for consistent results across formats and production volumes.
