How to best formulate your natural Exten(d) & ReWin(d) sports nutrition

You want to quickly innovate and integrate Exten(d) & ReWin(d) into your new sports nutrition product, our team can accompany you along the different stages of development:

1. Associate high-performance natural ingredients:

Exten(d) & ReWin(d) are two actives made from organic plant powders which optimise sports performance to be even more effective so you can associate other botanical ingredients: plant protein in recovery gels, natural sugars for “long distance” gels, and even plants containing caffeine for a stimulating effect. The know-how and expertise of our botanists can help you identify the best botanical ingredients and to create exclusive mixtures to gain distinctive criteria.

2. Propose innovative formats:

Galenic’s innovation is a major challenge for developing sports nutrition. As Exten(d) & ReWin(d) can be integrated into numerous formulations (solids, semi-solids, liquids or gels), new galenic forms can be considered for you finished product.  

We can help you develop new concepts of products integrating our actives Exten(d) & ReWin(d): Our galenic experts can accompany you in developing new formulations (powders, beverages, cereal bars, bars, gelatin and normal capsules, candies…) and our R&D engineers can adapt the galenic selection which you want to develop.

3. Guarantee the organoleptic quality:

Consumers nowadays seek balanced and flavourful products. We must stand out and create associations offering pleasure to enjoyable tastes. 

Botanical Studio® can provide guidance to improve the organoleptic quality of your product (physical aspect, coulour, flavour, texture, consistency, and smell).

4. Ensure rules and regulations:

During the launching of a new product, the objective is to propose innovative ingredients while spotlighting claims on the labelling. The regulatory context oftentimes raises some questions: « Is this plant authorised in Europe? », « Can we allege this pledge? »...  Indeed, regulations evolve quickly and can be seemingly complicated which is why our regulatory affairs manager is ready to help you to advise you in due respect with the regulations in force.

To conclude, with the input of Botanical Studio®, you can quickly design 100% natural and innovative sports nutrition products, while ensuring an ethical and transparent supply chain for your consumers.
