Innovative delivery systems for cannabinoids

Our innovative delivery systems are a huge leap forward in safety, efficacy, convenience and taste compared to industry-standard formats such as flowers, oils or capsules. Administering cannabinoids in the oral cavity for direct systemic delivery may limit first-pass metabolism. It is also suitable for people suffering from dry mouth or difficulties swallowing, which affects up to 40% of the population.

Our specialists will help you create a tailor-made product, based on more than 30 years’ experience working with pharmaceutical and nutraceutical ingredients and our long heritage in confectionery. Our delivery systems can be used individually or be combined to create the right solution for your user’s needs and preferences.
 
 

Compressed gum
Key benefits
  • Controlled and effective release
  • Separate ingredients in layers
  • Preferred, convenient and enjoyable format
  • Customise appearance, taste and texture
  • Patent protected
 
 
Control the release and separate incompatible ingredients
Our compressed chewing gum provides a controlled release of cannabinoids. The patent-protected compression technology effectively releases the fat-soluble cannabinoid molecule from the gum base. Available in single or multi-layered compositions, active and functional ingredients can be separated and released at varying rates. This allows you to combine cannabinoids with other active and functional ingredients to create medical and nutraceutical products backed by claims.

You can meet a range of consumer preferences by customising the gum’s size, taste, and texture. You can also support the product concept by customising the shape or colour and adding embossment or speckles. The compressed gum can be combined with a crunchy flavoured layer or our innovative Zapliq® delivery system, which liquefies when chewed, for a unique mouthfeel and pleasurable experience.
 
 
A well-known format, with a pleasant taste and texture
Chewing gum is an enjoyable experience for many and delivers inherent health benefits, including freshening breath, increasing focus and concentration, and relieving stress. It is a user-friendly format for consumers and patients – discrete, socially accepted and easily portable.

Our unique compression process, taste-masking capabilities and experience in confectionery ensure a pleasant taste and mouthfeel, even after chewing for 20 minutes. Both the manufacturing process and the gum base, which we manufacture in-house, are protected by patents.
 
Zapliq®
Key benefits
  • Fast release and perceived fast onset of action
  • Portable, convenient and enjoyable format
  • Separate ingredients in layers
  • Customise appearance, taste and texture
  • Patent protected
 
 
Liquifying chewable tablet
Zapliq® is our new format for fast oral delivery. The tablet liquefies in less than 15 seconds when chewed, making a solid oral dosage as easy to swallow as a sip of water. This makes Zapliq® well-suited for elderly people and people suffering from dry mouth or difficulty swallowing. Taken without water, it is ideal for patients and consumers on-the-go. The new, convenient and pleasant experience is particularly appealing. Your final product is protected by patents, which we hold together with our sister company Fertin.

Consumers rate the new format superior to existing delivery systems and intuitively perceive Zapliq® as offering a fast onset of action. In tests, more than 80% of consumers find Zapliq® discrete, convenient, and an easy way to ensure the right dosage, and agree that Zapliq® has a pleasant taste and aftertaste. Most consumers think its mouthfeel is more pleasant than most of the common dosage formats in the market (Ipsos, 2019).
 
 
Combine active and functional ingredients in layers
The unique composition provides a fast release and allows for 100% release of active and functional ingredients. It offers excellent taste-masking capabilities for cannabinoids and comes in a wide range of flavours and textures to suit your target user’s preferences. You can also customise the tablet’s shape and colour and add embossment or speckles to support the product concept.

Available in single or multiple layers, you can separate ingredients and release them at varying rates. This allows you to combine cannabinoids with other active and functional ingredients to create medical and nutraceutical products backed by claims. Zapliq® can also be combined with a crunchy flavoured layer or our compressed gum to create a custom-made solution for your product.
 

Lozenge
Key benefits
  • Discrete delivery
  • Fast or slow release
  • Customise size, appearance and taste
  • Patent protected
 
 
Cost-effective solution for a range of consumer preferences
The compressed lozenge is a cost-effective and well-known format, which you can customise in size, flavour and release profile to meet a range of consumer preferences. A larger, slower dissolving lozenge provides a sustained release for people who prefer to move the lozenge around in their mouth. For a fast, discrete release, our Fast Dissolvable Tablet (FDT) dissolves under the tongue in 15 seconds.

You can separate active and functional ingredients across multiple layers if required. This allows you to combine cannabinoids with other active and functional ingredients to create medical and nutraceutical products backed by claims.
 
 
Pleasant taste, mouthfeel, and appearance
We minimise grittiness, chalkiness, and greasiness during R&D thanks to our in-house sensory panel and consumer testing. Our taste-masking capabilities also ensure a pleasant taste, long after the lozenge has dissolved in the mouth. You can support your product concept by customising the shape and colour or adding speckles and embossment. Your final product is protected by patents, which we hold together with our sister company Fertin.
 

Pouch powder
Key benefits
  • Easy and discrete
  • Fast or slow release
  • Growing market opportunity
  • Patent protected
 
 
Discrete, controlled release
Placed under the upper lip, the pouch releases the cannabinoid in combination with flavours and sweeteners. This provides an easy and discrete way to deliver cannabinoids directly to the oral mucosa. You can customise the pouch powder in release profile or flavour to meet a range of consumer or patient preferences.
 
 
Growing market opportunities
The pouch is a traditional delivery system in markets such as the US and Scandinavia that is seeing increasing global interest, opening up many opportunities for this delivery system. We own patents for our pouch powder products, processes and technologies that protect your product portfolio.
