We seek to understand the root cause of common nausea, stomach ache, vomiting complaints from VMS (vitamins, minerals and supplements) tablets. We also seek to create a formulation with improved consumer experience that is gentle on the stomach and/or can be taken without food.

Solutions of interest include:

  • An ingredient that can be added to our existing formulation (full-spectrum nutrient profile tablet) to prevent nausea, stomach ache, and vomiting.
  • A complete formulation (full-spectrum nutrient profile tablet) with improved characteristics for nausea, stomach ache, and vomiting. Tablets are ideal, but other non-gummy delivery forms are also acceptable.
  • A study design for determining the root cause of common nausea, stomach ache, and vomiting associated with tablets of vitamins, minerals and supplements (VMS).

Our must-have requirements are:

  • Data to suggest solution improves the adverse effects of nausea in tablets
  • Capable of achieving 2-year product shelf life.
  • Reason to believe the solution is capable of receiving regulatory approval in USA
  • Commercially scalable technology.

Our nice-to-have requirements are:

  • Vegetarian/Vegan/plant based; halal/kosher/gluten free.

What’s out of scope:

  • Solution must not drastically increase the tablet size/volume
