SunActive® HES

Iron deficiency remains one of the most common nutrient deficiencies worldwide.

At the same time, conventional iron supplementation continues to face major challenges:

• poor tolerability

• metallic taste

• gastrointestinal side effects

• low compliance

• formulation difficulties in beverages and functional products

This is why innovative iron delivery systems are becoming increasingly important for the future of nutrition.

With SunActive® HES, Taiyo developed a next-generation iron ingredient designed to improve both:

formulation performance and consumer experience

Based on Taiyo’s patented SunActive® dispersion technology, SunActive® HES offers:

• excellent dispersibility

• improved usability in beverages and supplements

• reduced metallic taste

• high formulation flexibility

For developers of functional foods, sachets, powders and beverages, this creates exciting new opportunities to formulate iron products that are more consumer-friendly and technically stable.

As the market shifts toward:

• preventive health

• personalized nutrition

• clean-label concepts

• wellness-focused beverages

ingredient functionality becomes more important than ever.

Consumers increasingly expect products that combine:

• efficacy

• convenience

• pleasant sensory experience

• scientific credibility

At Taiyo, we believe nutrient delivery technology will play a major role in the next generation of nutritional products.

Because innovation is not only about the nutrient itself – but also about how effectively and comfortably it can be delivered.
