Natural fortification for the gut health category

Gut health is one of the defining wellness stories of the decade - and 94% of gut-health-conscious shoppers want the nutrients to be natural.

Calcium carries the only EFSA digestive-enzyme claim; paired here with B12, B6 and Chromium across two blends, all plant- and algae-derived with clinically proven bioavailability.

Samples are dispatched within a week, with reformulation support included - across both blends and the formats gut-health shoppers actually buy.

Two routes - digestive-led or metabolic-led

Both centre on Calcium and its digestive-enzyme claim. The difference is what you build around it.

Buyer-side answers from our nutrition team

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers to the questions brands ask most when specifying natural fortification for digestive and gut health products.

Which digestive blend should I choose?

If you want the cleanest two-ingredient declaration with an energy angle, choose Blend 1 (Calcium and B12, 18 claims). If your positioning leans metabolic - blood glucose, weight management, metabolic wellness - choose Blend 2, which adds Chromium and B6 (22 claims). Both carry Calcium’s digestive-enzyme claim.

Can I make a digestion claim on pack?

Calcium carries the EFSA-authorised claim for the normal function of digestive enzymes, which is the micronutrient claim most directly relevant to digestion.

Eiméar will confirm the exact permitted wording for your product and market before sign-off. Note that probiotic or fibre-specific claims sit outside the vitamin and mineral scope of these blends.

Which formats do they suit?

Both suit gut health shots, yoghurt-style drinks, functional beverages, powdered shakes, supplements and gummies - the formats gut-health shoppers told us they prefer. They dry-blend cleanly; for liquid and heat-processed formats Eiméar calculates overages.

Which EFSA health claims do these blends support?

Blend 1 enables 18 EU-authorised claims and Blend 2 enables 22, under EFSA Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. Across the range they group into:

Digestive and structural: normal function of digestive enzymes, maintenance of normal bones and teeth, normal muscle function, blood clotting and neurotransmission (Calcium)

Metabolic: maintenance of normal blood glucose levels, macronutrient metabolism, protein and glycogen metabolism (Chromium, B6)

Energy: normal energy-yielding metabolism and reduction of tiredness and fatigue (B12, B6, Calcium)

Mind, blood and immunity: nervous-system and psychological function, red blood cell formation, immune function (B12)

The complete claim list per blend is in its spec sheet and confirmed for your dosage by Eiméar before label sign-off - get in touch at hello@biovit.com for the full list and how it applies to your product.

Are organic versions available?

Yes. Both blends are available in natural and EU Organic certified variants. Wherever possible we prioritise organic sources.

Can I commission a bespoke gut health blend?

Yes. Where you need a different combination - a women’s gut health range, a metabolic-led formula, a children’s product - Eiméar formulates bespoke premixes per project and claim set.

What MOQ and lead times apply?

Premix blends carry a 5 kg MOQ with an approximate 4-week lead time. Samples are available on request - contact the team to specify the blend, quantity and shipping arrangements.

Reformulation support is included

Every BIOVIT wholesale order comes with full technical reformulation support at no extra cost, giving your NPD and technical teams direct access to a qualified nutritionist from brief to production.

Eiméar Sutton (RNutr MSc), our Head of Nutrition, leads the technical work on every account: equivalence mapping against your incumbent synthetic, inclusion-rate modelling, on-pack claim wording aligned to GB and EU regulation, and the small details that decide whether a synthetic-to-natural switch lands cleanly on the production line.

The result: shorter development cycles, fewer reformulation rounds, and a finished product your commercial team can stand behind.
