Innovative Dosage Form: Chew Gums

Millions of people swear by food supplements as it might be challenging sometimes to ensure a sufficient intake of daily vitamins and minerals despite following a well-balanced diet. However, there is a huge part of consumers having trouble with swallowing of tablets or capsules. We are lucky to present a delicious solution to that problem: chew gums. They have a striking resemblance to gummy bears and yet, they are soft and jellylike supplements providing a variety of vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts and/or Omega-3 fatty acids. In nature, these very healthy fatty acids are mainly found in fish (like herring or mackerel) and algae. Obviously and not surprising, they’re not the most common and popular meals on European dining tables.


Chew gums can contain up to 44% fat-soluble ingredients dissolved in up to 750 mg marine oil. The patented emulsion technology not only increases the bioavailability in comparison to other traditional dosage forms, it also ensure a faster ingestion of each nutrient. By the way, the bioavailability in supplements is tremendously higher than in food. This is because nutrients are naturally bound in food and need to be chemically broken down and pre-digested. The bioavailability of synthetic carotene for instance is 50%, whereas it’s only 26% in a cooked carrot and even less in a raw carrot. So synthetic/artificial nutrients aren’t bad at all. You just have to pay attention to the correct dose.


Our chew gums are sugar-free and therefore ideal for diabetics and children. Additionally, natural fruity flavours transform these supplements into a perfect and delicious alternative for people with trouble swallowing.
