At PLT Health Solutions, our awareness of the need for equitable, sustainable business practices has grown out of a 75-year concern with human health and well-being. Sustainable practice comes naturally to us, and we realize it is necessary for our success.

Built to Empower Successful Consumer Products

Seth Flowerman, President & CEO: PLT Health Solutions (PLT) is a purpose-driven company, passionate about helping people live healthier, happier lives. We are proud of our 75-year history as a discoverer, developer, and marketer of high-quality, scientifically supported ingredient solutions for the supplement, food & beverage, animal nutrition, and cosmeceuticals markets.  

PLT works with leading consumer product companies to help develop and commercialize innovative, top-selling products that deliver experiential and efficacious health solutions for consumers. We are proud to be the innovation partner of choice for more than 500+ customers and to deliver innovative ingredients backed by high-quality science and trusted quality. 

Leading Partner to Leading Brands 

Devin Stagg, Chief Operating Officer: Over the last decade, PLT has evolved dramatically as a company. We have invested substantially in people, processes and infrastructure to develop our capabilities as a leading innovation partner worldwide to our consumer products customers. Today, the people of PLT are scientists, formulators, marketing innovators, quality and supply chain experts and customer service leaders. Much of our team comes from the consumer product environment, having worked across the leading brands in our markets. That gives us insight and foresight to anticipate the needs of our customers.  

We approach innovation from the ground up. We ask ourselves: What are consumers missing? How can we deliver it better? What are we doing to provide tools to deliver customized and personalized solutions for various consumer groups? Then we work with some of the world's best minds and innovation partners to help answer those questions. We work with them to screen combinations of botanical ingredients. We design meaningful clinical studies to understand the mechanisms and the physical results of supplementation with our ingredients. And then, we help develop marketing and messaging campaigns that connect consumers with what we offer. That’s why leading consumer products companies work with us. We’re focused on their future. 

Flowerman: At PLT Health Solutions, our awareness of the need for equitable, sustainable business practices has grown out of a 75-year concern with human health and well-being. Sustainable practice comes naturally to us, and we realize it is necessary for our success. Our PLT People+Planet™ Initiative has been established to expand our sustainability efforts for environmental and human issues. This initiative supports and is guided by the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Our goals for the People+Planet™ Initiative are to provide one million women and children with vitamins, one million meals to needy families, and one million children empowered through education by 2030. 

Around the world, PLT engages in efforts to support the sustainable growing, harvesting, and processing of the raw materials that go into its ingredients as part of our PLT360™ initiative. This work includes supply chain reviews of ethical sourcing and environmental protection activities. Many of our innovation and manufacturing partners are leaders in this area because they realize that environmental protection, sustainable planting and harvesting, natural resource stewardship, green processing, and a good living for their workers are essential to continuing their business in the future. 

Global Presence  

Stagg: An essential part of our ability to serve our customers is our network of global strategic partnerships—where we work with some of the world’s most innovative people, bringing them and their ideas to market via proprietary ingredient brands with the type of support services that are required by leading consumer products companies that insist on world-class quality and solid scientific support. We scour the world for new ideas that address existing and emerging issues, and that can support innovative new consumer products. 

While PLT is headquartered in the United States, we have a truly global sales and marketing presence, serving customers in all major markets. PLT is increasingly involved in supporting our customers with global product launches, necessitating a combination of market awareness and regulatory expertise. By engaging globally, we can enhance our ability to be a valuable partner for companies worldwide. 

Creating the Future 

Flowerman: PLT Health Solutions continues to innovate and bring category-leading products to market. In 2023, PLT introduced a game-changing cognitive ingredient backed by groundbreaking clinical science. Nutricog^® Cognitive Performance Complex is an ingredient unlike anything on the market today and adds a new dimension to our portfolio of clinically backed cognitive health ingredients. Nutricog is a patented combination of Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) and Boswellia (Boswellia serrata); clinical studies have shown benefits across multiple cognitive domains, including learning, memory, sustained attention, working memory and executive function, where increases in cognitive speed were seen concurrently with improvements in accuracy while multitasking. Nutricog also checks many boxes consumers want in an ingredient today. It is completely novel and botanical. It is experiential, with significant benefits occurring within 15 days. It is effective at a relatively low dose, making compliance easier, and it is sustainably, traceably grown and manufactured. 

This is just one example of our innovation investments. It’s an exciting time, and we have several additional new-to-the-world innovations we are excited to introduce to the market in 2023. 

Healthier, Happier Lives 

Flowerman: The health and wellness market is experiencing unprecedented growth. This rapid growth is accompanied by even faster changes. Consumers are demanding a whole new set of requirements for consumer products and their ingredients, from a compelling origin story and supply chain transparency to sustainability, high-quality clinical science, and ultimate quality control. In the near future, we anticipate significant growth in personalized nutrition and the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies, which will become integral to our daily experiences. 

There is nothing more motivating for our team than seeing products on shelves around the world powered by our ingredients, knowing that we are making a positive impact. We are excited about the future of our industry and the role PLT Health Solutions plays in assisting the next generation of remarkable companies to help consumers live healthier, happier lives.
