Our expertise in this area. High-quality ingredients play a huge part in what we offer, but this sector calls for competitive pricing, and availability of supply. Running alongside that, we offer specific specs, halal-certified bovine gelatine, and the ability to advise on specifically formulated blends.
Chewable Gummies. The preferred option for adults and children when taking supplements. But consumers are increasingly demanding cleaner label solutions and ingredients that they recognise. Since the COVID pandemic, many have chosen to include a supplement into their everyday lives. The options are growing rapidly, gummies for hair growth, skin care, vitamin boosts, nail growth and overall wellbeing including better sleep and relaxation. Gelatines have historically been used in the past for it’s flexibility, but pectin and carrageenan are now key players.
- Pectin – used for pH gummies as gelling agent
- Different pectins can be advised for different vitamin types as they have different stabilities
- Carrageenan works well for creatine gummies
- Citrus fibre – a clean label alternative to pectin and carrageenan
The rise of Collagen Powder
The collagen trend has seen huge growth in recent years, and it’s here to stay.
Powder format is the best way for the body to digest collagen opposed to tablets, and capsules. Marine Collagen is considered the best choice, due to its ‘cleaner’ perception and it being less likely to cause allergies.
