Our Delivery Systems

Functional Chewy Confectionery

Soft chews are an excellent format for supplements as the chewing process itself helps aid the delivery of the supplement.

Chews are made soft by balancing the use of crystallising sugars (sucrose) with reducing sugars (glucose syrup) and adding minerals to chews can lead to a gritty texture as the minerals can change the balance and promote crystallisation.

The taste benefits of using a chew can also be outweighed by the chew being high in Sugar and Fat which offsets the health benefits of fortification. Alternatively reducing the sugar content to increase the healthiness of the chew compromises both taste and texture. Too often taste is being lost due to the removal of fats and sugars from the manufacturing process, or because ingredients are adding bitterness.

We use a unique blend of non-digestible fibres to reduce the sugars and fat traditionally used to make chews and to provide for improved organoleptic properties..

As a result, our unique fortified chew is: reduced in sugar and fat, high in fibre, prebiotic yet with the same soft texture as traditional chews.

We produce not only a tasty but also a more nutritious  chew and make the addition of fortifying ingredients both easier and more obvious.
