This approach enables us to provide expert guidance to clients, effectively becoming an extension of their own technical team. &#8220;In fact, we deliver training to a considerable number of our clients,&#8221; she adds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lle\u00f3 develops a wide range of food supplements tailored to different industries: everything from pharmacies, health food stores, nutricosmetics, medical clinics, to supermarkets. &#8220;We make all types of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lleo.es\/en\/food-supplements\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">supplements<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, always complying with legal regulations and adapting to the formats sought by our clients,\u201d says the CEO. In this regard, personalization is the key. &#8220;We make bespoke supplements according to our clients\u2019 needs.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quality and safety are prioritized throughout every step of the process. &#8220;Prevention rather than cure has always been our top priority.&#8221; That\u2019s why we not only comply with the most stringent legal protocols; we also go above and beyond by implementing additional measures that, despite not being mandatory, we believe are of utmost importance,&#8221; explains Grau. Since 2016, the company has undergone audits by SGS and holds certifications such as ISO 22000 and GMP+, ensuring the quality of our production processes. What\u2019s more, Lle\u00f3 prioritizes organic production whenever feasible, guaranteeing that its raw materials and processes comply with traceability and organic certification standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Advice and innovation<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When launching a new product line, Lle\u00f3 guides its clients every step of the way; from the initial idea right the way through to final production. &#8220;A client might have an idea that\u2019s more or less developed, and then we provide the much-needed expertise depending on the stage the project is at,&#8221; explains Grau. This also includes <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lleo.es\/en\/consulting\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">advice<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0on ingredients and market trends, a key factor in an ever-evolving industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Innovation is also at the heart of the company. &#8220;We have the ability to innovate in terms of formats, ingredients, processes, and branding.&#8221; &#8220;For instance, sticks were a major innovation rolled out in 2019,&#8221; says the CEO. Adaptogenic ingredients are gaining increasing traction: &#8220;They help you adapt to daily challenges, whether you\u2019re experiencing low energy or mood swings.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking ahead, Lle\u00f3 is as committed as ever to sustainable growth. &#8220;The industry is expanding, so our only choice is to grow too\u2014whether in terms of formats, facilities&#8230;&#8221; But always organically. &#8220;We\u2019re not interested in growth that\u2019s beyond our control,&#8221; concludes Grau.
