Active ingredients 

Compressed gum technology is a true breakthrough in the field, due to its high degree of suitability for the addition of active ingredients. The technology is also a unique innovation in the growing dietary supplement market.

Compressed gum technology is the basis for the producing the most advanced type of chewing gum for functional and nutraceutical products:

• Active ingredients are absorbed quickly through the oral mucosa
•  Large amounts of active ingredients can be added
• A wide variety of active ingredients can be added, including heat/humidity sensitive substances
• There is a high level of process survival and efficient release of active ingredients in high or low dosages
• Multi-layer compressed gum is ideal as a delivery vehicle for active ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, herbal ingredients, enzymes, probiotics and ingredients for oral care in general
•  The two layers permit the separation of ingredients that would otherwise react together chemically
• The separation of the gum into more layers makes it possible to time the release of each specific active ingredient
• Consumer tests show that consumers perceive compressed gum as a more ‘serious’ type of chewing gum than conventional pellets
