‍

What makes Fertin’s products unique

Pleasurable mouthfeel

Tastemaskingsome active ingredients can be difficult. Thus, many supplements have a bad taste or leave a bad aftertaste in the mouth. Thanks to our expertise in designing specific mouthfeels (flavours and textures), our products are attractive toconsumers.

‍

Controlled release ofactives

Not allactive ingredients can be absorbed by the body at the same speed or location.Thanks to Fertin’s controlled release technology, it is possible to design theprofile of each product to deliver the active ingredients in the oral membraneas they navigate through the throat and gastrointestinal tract, enabling atargeted delivery of the ingredients.

‍

Sugar free

Several dosage forms such as gummies or liquids are typically made with added sugar in order to make them more tasty. However, this can have a negative effect on the overall health, especially dental health. Fertin products are manufactured with sugar alcohols such as xylitol, erythritol or sorbitol. These sweeteners can be found naturally in fruit and vegetable sand contain fewer calories than sugar.

‍

No need for water

Fertinproducts can be taken without any water. This makes our products convenient forconsumers as they can bring and take them wherever they go.

‍

On-the-go products

Big, bulky packaging of products makes it difficult for consumers to take their supplements on the go. Fertin’s products are packed in blistercards which not only ensure hygiene and freshness of the product but also makes it easy to bring anywhere.

‍

Compressed chewing gum

Controlled release ofactives

Benefits:

• Controlled delivery of functionalingredients (slow and/or fast)
• Optimal for buccal absorption of the functional ingredients
• Superior mouthfeel experiences with the possibility of crunchy flavours burst and long-lasting flavor duration
• Promotes good oral hygiene and stimulates the senses
   

Fertin’s compressed chewing gum is composed of powdered ingredients, with the active ingredients added loosely and not pre-incorporated into the “sticky” gum base.This facilitates the release of active ingredients into the saliva during chewing, which ultimately means that it delivers faster release rates of active ingredients than conventional chewing gum.

Fertin’s patented bi-layered compressed chewing gum technology is well suited for the inclusion of active ingredients due to a dry and cool manufacturing process which is ideal for sensitive ingredients. Furthermore, the powder base of the gum ensures an efficient release of the active substances.

The compressed chewing gum allows the release of different functional ingredients in a controlled way in order to obtain the required release profile and a pleasant experience at the same time.

‍

Method of use:

Chew the product for at least 5 min. and dispose

(optimal chewing time depends on specific formulation)

Multivitamin chewing gum

Vitamins are essential nutrients that your body needs in small amounts to work properly.By having a healthy, balanced diet, people can get all the vitamins and minerals they need from their food.

Nevertheless, most people do not consume an optimal amount of vitamins by diet alone.Suboptimal intake of some vitamins is a risk factor for chronic diseases and common in the general population, especially the elderly¹⁾. In a systematic review of the vitamin literature, Fairfield and Fletcher concluded that it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements¹⁾.However, given that a large part of the population dislike or have difficulties when swallowing²⁾, it is crucial that the administration of multi vitamins be available through easy, flavourful and convenient dosage forms.

‍
