For true innovation to happen in the nutraceutical space, the ingredients used should not only deliver their independent benefits, but also combine with other ingredients to form ingredient-complexes that enhance the working efficiency of each other while offering a unique value proposition, thus forming a perfect synergy.
At Bio-gen Extracts, we have developed some scientifically-backed ingredient synergies resulting in ingredient-complexes that are crafted for creating highly specialized products for a variety of end applications.
Let us explore some of the promising ingredient-complexes that we have developed so far.
CaroRiteTM CaroRite™ is a clinically-proven, patent-pending Natural Mixed Carotenoid Complex. It is a synergistic formulation containing Lutein, Zeaxanthin-isomers, Beta Carotene, Alpha Carotene, Lycopene and trace amounts of Beta Cryptoxanthin. This unique ingredient-complex is poised to disrupt the carotenoid space.
We have conducted a 93-subject placebo-controlled study to assess the impact of supplementation of CaroRite™ on Macular Pigment Optical Density (MPOD) over 180 days, in healthy adult subjects. The clinical study demonstrated better MPOD values and an increase of about 40% in macular pigmentation with CaroRite™ when compared to the baseline.
Ultra-gen Omega® A unique blend of black seed (Nigella sativa) & flax seed, Ultra-gen Omega® provides an optimum balance of Omega-3, Omega-6 & Omega-9 in a vegan friendly format. The fatty acids in Ultra-gen Omega® have been studied to show improvements in cardiac health by lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
sliMCT sliMCT combines the power of MCT that supports satiety with the science behind FenuLean®, our clinically-proven fenugreek protein & fiber for suppressing appetite, and aiding in weight loss & blood sugar management.
This unique ingredient complex has more than 55% MCT fat, more than 15% dietary fiber, over 15% protein and less than 2% carbohydrates; making it an ideal ingredient-complex for products that support weight loss and low carb requirements while delivering sustained energy levels.
MCTPlus Designed for the ultimate endurance, MCTPlus combines the power of MCT powder, a perfect fuel for the body, with TruBeet®, our clinically-proven beetroot extract for optimal performance. This ingredient-complex helps the user function efficiently while improving endurance for athletic activities.
These are just some of the ingredient-complexes that are commercially available at present. We will continue our innovation efforts for creating ingredient synergies to help our clients go the extra mile, enabling their consumers to Choose Good HealthTM.

The future of Nutraceutical supplements will be ruled by innovative delivery formats and we are working to be at the forefront of this revolution.
THE PILL FATIGUE
Capsules and tablets may no longer dominate nutraceutical supplements. Even older consumers prefer supplements in formats other than pills. Even though a majority of today’s supplements are still consumed in the pill form, we are witnessing a huge shift towards other convenient formats like ready-to-mix drinks, shots, gummies and functional beverages.
CHANGE IN CONSUMER PREFERENCES
Supplement formats are evolving, largely due to the new consumers’ interest in having an experience that is enjoyable and convenient. As supplement brands embrace innovation to distinguish themselves and appeal to consumers, new formats are gaining traction globally. Gummies grew 44% between 2019 and 2020, making them the fastest-growing format in vitamins, minerals, and supplements in the US.1 Non-pill supplements now make up 34% of the market and continue to grow.2
WHAT IS TRENDING
We have seen an increased consumer preference for new supplement and functional food formats. Some of which are:
a. Nutritional bars b. Vitamin Waters & Functional Beverages c. Beadlet-in-oil Capsules d. Liquid Shots e. Gummies & Jellies
OUR TECHNOLOGY INNOVATIONS
At Bio-gen Extracts, we have been following the changes in consumer preferences and have been working to develop new technologies that support the development of interesting delivery formats that consumers would find easy to use and can be excited about.
