Marinol concentrated Omega-3 triglycerides are used in clinical and infant nutritional products to promote cardiovascular and neurological health.
Pinnothin, derived from pine nuts, functions as an appetite suppressant.
Stepan president and CEO Quinn Stepan said the Lipid Nutrition product lines combined with their Neobee Medium ChainTriglycerides products provides them with a portfolio of nutritional fats for the food, supplement and nutrition industries.
The acquired products will be manufactured at Stepan’s Maywood, New Jersey plant as well as at existing outside contract manufacturers for sale on a global basis.
