Tablets are a common format for administering oral dosages of vitamins, minerals and supplements (VMS). They effectively encapsulate a large amount of ingredients into a compact form. 

However, reviews and complaints about multivitamin/mineral tablets often mention stomachache, nausea, and occasional vomiting. The industry's response has primarily focused on advising consumption with food or spreading the intake across smaller doses throughout the day. But recent consumer insights reveal that many individuals skip breakfast or opt for a light morning meal.  

We seek to enhance the consumer experience by developing a tablet solution that will not cause these undesirable side effects when taken in the morning, with no or minimal food intake. Gummies can minimize the adverse effects of nausea but have lower nutrient load. 

Our ideal partner will have a near-ready solution with data supporting less nausea. However, we are also open to co-development with startups or other partners in order to create a multivitamin formulation that is gentle on the stomach and/or can be taken without food.
