Explore five differences between synthetic and natural CBD APIs to inform your next research and development project.
The key to elevating consumer and patient health is simple: nutrition and drug products that taste great and perform better. That’s why we design irresistible flavors and tastes that capture the imagination and drive desire. In fact, what inspires us most is co-creating standout products that deliver positive emotional experiences people never forget.
Our breakthrough flavor solutions and technologies help optimize taste, texture, and enjoyment across dietary supplements, pharma, and more. Whether it’s masking the bitter aftertaste of APIs or enhancing sweetness onset and mouthfeel, together we can take taste experiences to the next level.
As a key factor in elevating health and wellness sensory experiences, taste has the power to drive product success and enhance compliance.

Taste plays a key role in patient compliance, but over 60% of APIS are considered bitter1. To improve acceptance and meet the rising demand for patient-friendly dosage forms, we co-create formulations that consider the patient experience from the beginning of the drug development journey, via a wide range of flavor tonalities, taste modulators, and encapsulation technologies.
Our high-quality excipient portfolio – including GMP-compliant vitamins and vitamin derivatives, as well as flavors and taste modulators – can help to overcome complex formulation challenges. From improving the functionality of products to optimizing taste profile for better patient compliance, we help our customers formulate with success.
