Lycored Unveils Innovative VAS Technology at SupplySide Global 2025

Lycored, a global leader in natural carotenoids for the food, beverage, and dietary supplement markets, recently showcased its pioneering Versatile Application Solution (VAS) technology at SupplySide Global 2025. This event marked a significant milestone in Lycored's commitment to innovation within the ingredient sector, as the launch of the VAS portfolio is set for November 6, 2025.

The VAS technology employs advanced starch microcapsules designed to enhance product performance across a wide variety of applications. This includes improving compression resistance in tablets, achieving homogeneity and stability in gummies, enhancing solubility in powdered beverages, and ensuring flowability in capsules. With its design aimed at serving multiple formats, VAS is compatible with various active ingredients, including lycopene, beta-carotene, lutein, and vitamins. This approach delivers exceptional stability, versatility, and performance that can elevate product offerings.

Among the standout formulations within the new VAS portfolio is Lycobeads VAS TM 10%, which features lycopene—a renowned nutraceutical ingredient recognized for its powerful antioxidant properties and support for cardiovascular health, skin protection, and prostate function. In essence, VAS serves as a universal solution, streamlining formulation and ensuring reliable, high-performance products.

Megan Dunn, Senior Global Marketing Director, expressed, "VAS technology creates opportunities for brands to drive commercial success through advanced formulations with premium natural ingredients. SupplySide Global is the ideal venue to showcase how VAS is positioned at the intersection of cutting-edge science and genuine market demand for natural, science-backed wellness solutions. It exemplifies how Lycored leads the way with scientific excellence and innovation, prioritizing consumer needs."

In addition to unveiling VAS, attendees at SupplySide Global 2025 will have the opportunity to explore Lycored's complete portfolio of clean label ingredients through a range of activations and exhibits.

Highlights include a presentation by Elizabeth Tarshish, PhD, the Product and Science Lead, discussing "From Tomato to Transformation: The Journey of Lycopene to Health". This session will delve into the science of lycopene bioavailability, the latest research on its documented benefits, and its practical applications in health and wellness—taking place at the Product Development Theater at 11:00 AM on October 29.

Additionally, visitors can join Lycored on its Guided Tour of Natural Color Solutions, titled "Vibrant Innovation from Nature," starting at 11:45 AM on the same day.
