Blanver Supplies Cafosas Gum Delivery

BOCA RATON, Fla.Blanver USA is marketing Cafosas Health in Gum (HiG) excipient to the American dietary supplement market.

Cafosa is a division of the Wrigley/Mars group of companies, and its HiG is a unique form of active ingredient delivery system. It is a chewing gum base that is also directly compressible, easy to tablet complete functional pre-mix powder that contains a mixture of basic ingredients to which an active ingredient can be added.  HiG enables production of compressed chewing gum using standard tableting equipment, thereby eliminating specific chewing gum production machinery. 

As explained in an INSIDER article, gums offer ease of administration, fast onset of action and few systemic side effects as a delivery technology; however, understanding the rheology of gum base and ingredient interaction is essential to developing an efficacious product.
