Unlocking the power of nutrition
DSM Personalized Nutrition is a health investment company, aiming to provide consumers with insights and recommendations on how to use everyday nutrition to improve their health. Individuals often overlook the important impact of nutrition on their health. Scientific evidence supports that dietary adjustments may not only influence present health, but may determine whether an individual will develop such diseases as cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes much later in life.

DSM Personalized Nutrition builds on DSM’s nutritional expertise, which is widely available across the various Life Science businesses and displayed in the company’s nutritional solutions for health benefits, food ingredient business and in programs such as the Nutrition Improvement Program and Sight and Life, and partnerships with the World Food Programme and the Dutch Olympic Committee (NOC*NSF).

Opportunities
DSM Personalized Nutrition is developing a number of business models to commercialize knowledge around how an individual’s nutrition choices impact individual health outcomes. The first service developed by Personalized Nutrition is a corporate wellness program.

Corporate wellness
The benefits of corporate wellness programs are widely known, and include reduced health care costs, productivity improvements, and lower employee absences. DSM Personalized Nutrition has developed GPNS™, the Global Personal Nutrition System™ (www.myGPNS.com), a unique wellness program that gives employees insights and recommendations on how to use everyday nutrition to improve their health. For any corporate wellness program, the single largest determent of return on investment is the level of employee engagement. GPNS™ makes a difference because the program engages every employee through nutrition.
