Can you mask creatine and caffeine in a beverage?
Yes. We develop masking systems for specific active loads and adjust based on the sweetener system and base.
Nutraceutical Flavors
Nutraceutical Flavors Built Around the Active System
Functional products bring real formulation pressure. We build around the active system, protein load, sweetener system, format, and the finish the consumer actually experiences.
Common nutraceutical flavor problems
- Protein bitterness
- Greens and botanical earthiness
- Mineral metallic notes
- Vitamin harshness
- Creatine
- Caffeine
- High-intensity sweetener aftertaste
What We Provide
Built around your base, process, use level, and label goal.
- Active and protein masking
- Liquid and powder formats
- Sweetness and mouthfeel support
- Gummy, powder, and beverage applications
Common Challenges
Where the system can fail.
- Bitterness
- Metallic notes
- Chalkiness

Questions
Starting the conversation.
Do you work with gummy formats?
Yes. Gummy development requires accounting for the gelatin or pectin system, sweeteners, acid, and processing temperature.
What do I need to share to start a nutraceutical project?
Share the active system and concentrations, protein source if applicable, base, sweetener system, format, and what the current finish tastes like.
Have a flavor problem to solve?
From first sample to repeatable production.
Send the application, base, and constraints. We will help find the right starting direction.
