Wherever you look these days the rules are being bent, opinions and perceptions are being challenged and the thoughts and ideas we have accepted as normal are being called into question.

As I sat with my 10 year old watching Strictly recently, we were treated to a dance by Candoco Dance Company. First we noticed the man in the wheel chair who was amazing but then..a woman with one leg....man with prosthetic limb, two women dancing together and two men.....It was clear the traditional boundaries of Strictly were changing and it was impressive, of course!

In our industry this is also happening. The recent Food Matters show attended by ‘team Opalbond’ showcased the usual mixed bag of startups and distributors and more established brands. But how long do you think it will be before the use of insects such as worms and crickets in foods are not just for the likes of the “Bear Grylls consumer”?

Change is good, I’ve always welcomed it and it keeps us on our toes. That’s why as Christmas approaches and the Strictly final loams close, Opalbond continue to travel the world to bring exciting new products to our carefully chosen customers.

And where are Opalbond pushing the boundaries? We can now offer more then 10 different delivery systems from active ingredients not just tablets and soft or hard gel capsules, for instance:

  • Low sugar chocolate like bites with vitamins, turmeric or Omega 3
  • Super greens effervescent tablets

  • Vitamin sprays in streamlined bottles
  • Biodegradable straws containing vitamins and collagen
  • Vials or shots of iron multivitamins
  • Capsules containing 4 differently timed release tablets
  • 95% turmeric effervescent tablets

 

Whilst we continue to push the boundaries of delivery systems for functionally active ingredients, Opalbonds’ quality department have further strengthened our position on standards having secured both organic and ISO status. We continue to diligently vet all new manufacturing partners.

Please feel free to contact us in confidence with your own product proposal and let’s see if we cannot push those delivery system boundaries together some more.

And don’t forget “Keep dancing!”

Happy Christmas all!
