Vitafoods Europe is synonymous with new product launches, and each year we see a wide range of innovative new products on offer. These vary from products promising more efficient forms of delivery which increases bioavailability, to products that offer a newly research, highly functional ingredient. This innovation can be attributed to several factors within the industry; new technology, investment, increased research and development, updated regulation and collaboration between academia and industry. However, the single biggest driver is the consumer. Consumers are becoming increasingly demanding about the products they consume, partly due to increased awareness around several different factors; scientific validation, clean label demand, ethical sourcing requirements, competitive pricing, product functionality and more diverse product offerings.
With Vitafoods Europe now taking place 1-3 September, we take a look at some of the most exciting new products to be showcased within our New Product Zone, a section of the event dedicated to highlighting new products on the market.
While all products are from the New Products Zone, a paid showcase, this post was developed without commercial input.

The film can be loaded with active nutraceutical ingredients that instantly dissolve when placed on the tongue, whilst the active ingredients are absorbed through the buccal cavity, leading to faster and greater bioavailability.
