Spotlighting Microencapsulated Vitamins & Minerals, Showcasing a Diverse Product Matrix

New Product Launch: EncaptiCal™ Next-Generation Microencapsulated Tricalcium Phosphate

EncaptiCal™ Next-Generation Microencapsulated Tricalcium Phosphate

Microencapsulated tricalcium phosphate not only provides calcium, but also delivers phosphorus—an essential mineral for bone health. By supplementing calcium and phosphorus together, the two nutrients work synergistically to support a more scientific and balanced nutrition solution.

Rat studies showed that EncaptiCal™ microencapsulated tricalcium phosphate achieved significantly higher peak calcium concentrations and superior absorption kinetics compared with calcium citrate, calcium glycinate, regular tricalcium phosphate, and commercially available microencapsulated tricalcium phosphate, indicating highly efficient in vivo calcium absorption. Its bioavailability was increased by 80% compared with regular tricalcium phosphate, by 60% compared with other commercial microencapsulated tricalcium phosphate products, and reached twice that of calcium citrate. With calcium absorption performance significantly outperforming common calcium sources and comparable commercial products, EncaptiCal™ offers an innovative solution for high-bioavailability calcium supplementation.

At the same time, the microencapsulation technology used in EncaptiCal™ enables uniform, stable, and reproducible application performance. It is suitable for multiple dosage forms, helping brands expand beyond traditional calcium tablets into innovative formats such as gummies, liquid calcium, stick packs, and functional foods. EncaptiCal™ is not only a premium calcium source, but also a versatile, application-ready, and premium-positioned calcium delivery system designed for next-generation nutrition scenarios.

Vitamin K2

RiviK2® Vitamin K2 sets a purity benchmark for naturally fermented K2. It is all-trans MK-7 with a purity of over 98%, produced using supercritical extraction technology with no organic solvent residues. Microencapsulated RiviK2® demonstrates excellent stability in calcium-magnesium formulations. Backed by multiple invention patents, it provides strong technical support for reliable performance across various dosage forms.

EasyTaste Reduces Off-Flavors Without Compromising Efficacy, Enhancing Palatability

EasyTaste leverages off-flavor reduction technology to help minimize the undesirable taste of raw materials while preserving their nutritional value and functional performance. With stable and efficient performance as well as a mild taste profile, it is especially suitable for children, seniors, and consumers sensitive to taste. It also offers improved formulation compatibility and application flexibility, making it suitable for gummies, powder stick packs, tablets, and other dosage forms. EasyTaste helps create nutrition-fortified products that are more palatable, consumer-friendly, and easier to accept.

EasyTaste Magnesium Glycinate and Ferrous Glycinate

Addressing the metallic off-flavor commonly associated with traditional iron and magnesium minerals, EasyTaste uses unique off-flavor reduction technology to reduce metallic taste and reactivity. It enables more palatable mineral salt supplementation formulas while opening up greater possibilities for formulation innovation.

EasyTaste B Vitamins

Effectively reducing bitterness by 70% while balancing stability and applicability, EasyTaste B Vitamins expand formulation possibilities for sensitive dosage forms such as lozenges, chewable tablets, and beverages.

FIA 2026 Concludes, Innovation Moves Forward

Although FIA 2026 has successfully concluded, the exchange of nutrition and health innovation continues. Richen Nutritionals will continue to focus on vitamins, minerals, functional nutrition ingredients, customized premixes, and application technology support, providing more solution-driven ideas for the development of nutrition and health products.

CPHI China 2026 is still ongoing. We warmly welcome industry partners to visit the Richen Nutritionals booth for further exchange and to explore more possibilities in nutrition and health ingredients and application solutions.
