At Vitafoods Europe, Akay Bioactives is highlighting its Specialty Actives portfolio at booth #3J220.
Designed to deliver exceptional performance across key health areas while addressing common formulation challenges, the Specialty Actives range integrates innovation with nature. Through precise standardisation and proprietary technologies, Akay Bioactives continues to redefine how botanical ingredients are developed and delivered, ensuring both efficacy and functionality in finished products.
At the core of this portfolio is FenuMat, Akay’s patented delivery platform engineered to enhance the bioavailability of poorly soluble actives. By embedding bioactives within a fenugreek fibre hydrogel matrix, FenuMat helps protect them from the harsh gut environment while enabling a slow, sustained release, improving solubility, stability, and bioavailability for more effective, formulation-friendly solutions, while supporting lower dosages.
Key FenuMat bioactives include:
- FenuMat Boswellia, 4x greater bioavailability for musculoskeletal comfort and joint health
- FenuMat Quercetin, 60x greater bioavailability for immune and metabolic health
- FenuMat Resveratrol, 10x greater bioavailability for metabolic health and healthy ageing
These ingredients build on well-recognised actives, offering enhanced in-body performance and formulation advantages, backed by published clinical substantiation.
Complementing this technology-driven approach is the NutriPhy range, a collection of clean, fresh, and responsibly sourced botanical extracts developed for performance and versatility. NutriPhy ingredients are standardised to key bioactives and are adaptable across multiple delivery formats, offering a broad range of ingredients from Amla to White Grape.
Key NutriPhy ingredients include:
- NutriPhy Cranberry, supporting urinary tract health
- NutriPhy Bilberry, supporting eye and vision health, as well as circulation
- NutriPhy Blackcurrant, supporting performance, circulation, and eye health
Together, FenuMat and NutriPhy represent a comprehensive approach to botanical innovation, bridging clinical performance with formulation practicality. From enhanced bioavailability to precise standardisations and clean-label sourcing, these ingredients are designed to simplify product development while delivering meaningful, substantiated consumer benefits.
