DSM Nutritional Products: Vitamin C That Guarantees You Peace of Mind

Starting in 1935 with the chemical synthesis of Vitamin C, a process invented by Dr. Tadeusz Reichstein of the Swiss Institute of Technology in Zurich, Roche gradually added other blended vitamins to its range. Today it sells the full palette of fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins.

In 1956, Roche began producing carotenoids with the the first synthesis of beta-carotene, and over the years followed up with other vitamins and minerals.

On October 1, 2003, the Roche Vitamins and Fine Chemicals Division became DSM Nutritional Products.

Today, DSM Nutritional Products is the world's leading supplier of nutritional and pharmaceutical ingredients, performance materials and industrial chemicals. The company develops, produces and sells products and services that help boost the quality of life.

DSM Nutritional Products has a 70-year track record in Vitamin C production. It is the only remaining Vitamin C manufacturer in the west that offers the world's premium range of pure Vitamin C forms.

DSM assures its customers with the Quali-C brand that speaks of known QUALITY, TRACEABILITY and supply REALIABILITY.

Quali-C is not just a brand, it is an exercise in awareness that choosing cheaper materials of uncertain origin/source could lead to very harmful consequences for the manufacturer, all the way to the consumer.

While at a chemical level the Vitamin C may be the same, it is important for consumers to anticipate what might happen if the cheaper Vitamin C they're taking should prove to be contaminated or sub-standard in some other way.

Part of the assurance comes down to traceability. DSM boasts the ability to trace right back to the source of the material used in the production of Vitamin C.

Control systems, quality management, environmental sustainability, safety management, and training are also said to be integral to total quality management. This guarantee on quality is what DSM provides its customers with the Quali-C brand. The same quality is in every capsule of FERN-C - - the ONLY Vitamin C that guarantees you peace of mind.
