Start with the formulation problem

NexaGens organises its ingredient platforms around the formulation problem you are trying to solve, not just the technology name. Select the challenge you are working on to see which platform applies, which products are relevant, and what evidence sits behind each one.

Problem	What it looks like	Actives typically affected
Solubility & dispersibility	The active will not wet or disperse adequately	CoQ10, curcumin, carotenoids, vitamin D3, vitamin K2
Stability protection	Assay drops, colour shifts or the oil goes rancid on storage	Astaxanthin, lutein, lycopene, CoQ10, NADH, omega-3, algal DHA
Taste & odour masking	Bitter, metallic, sulphurous or fishy notes reach the consumer	Potassium chloride, iron bisglycinate, NAC, choline bitartrate, caffeine
Modified release	You need the active released over 4 or 8 hours, not all at once	Caffeine, L-theanine
Enteric & intestinal delivery	The active must survive the stomach and release in the intestine	Peppermint oil, NADH
Ingredient interaction protection	One ingredient is degrading another in the same blend	Iron, vitamin C, oils, sensitive vitamins
Oil-to-powder conversion	You need a free-flowing powder from a liquid oil	Fish oil, algal DHA, oregano oil, essential oils
Moisture protection	The blend cakes, clumps or loses activity in humidity	Choline bitartrate, NADH
Cold-water dispersion & sedimentation	A high-dose active disperses slowly or settles out of a cold drink	Creatine and future matrix-infusion actives
