Nutraceuticals

Ingredients play a crucial role in the formulation of dietary supplements, as they can enhance an active stability and/or bioavailability, in addition to improving the manufacturing process or the consumer experience. Gattefossé offers ingredients to answer all those challenges.

Engaged with well-being

A balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients is fundamental to maintaining overall well-being. Gattefossé is committed to help in the development of dietary supplements by providing essential ingredients that enhance the effectiveness and consumer experience of these products. One significant contribution is the use of ingredients designed for sustained release, which allows for once-daily administration. This not only simplifies the dosing regimen but also improves consumer adherence, ensuring that individuals are more likely to consistently take their supplements. Additionally, with our ingredients, a wide range of dosage forms can be obtained, from tablets and capsules to gels and liquids, catering to diverse consumer preferences and needs.

Compritol® E ATO

This high-melting point glyceride has multiple functionalities. At a small percentage, it can be used as a lubricant for tablets. At a higher percentage, it forms a lipid matrix from which the nutraceutical active ingredient diffuses slowly. This sustained release is beneficial for the consumers’ adherence as it means it is possible to achieve a single dose per day.
