Lycored Unveils Revolutionary VAS Technology at SupplySide Global 2025
Lycored, a pioneer in the development of naturally derived carotenoids, is stepping up its game at SupplySide Global 2025 by revealing its new Versatile Application Solution (VAS) technology. This innovative technology aims to optimize product performance and meet the diverse needs of the rapidly changing food, beverage, and dietary supplement markets.
A New Standard in Ingredient Technology
Set to officially launch on November 6, 2025, the VAS technology features microencapsulated starch beadlets designed to enhance various applications. From tablets that can withstand direct compression to gummies that require homogeneity and stability, the VAS solution provides a unified answer for multiple formats. Moreover, it improves solubility in powder beverages and promotes better flowability in capsules, thereby revolutionizing the way brands formulate their products.
The VAS technology’s flexible nature allows it to incorporate a range of key active ingredients, including renowned nutraceuticals like lycopene, beta-carotene, lutein, and essential vitamins. This versatility is a game changer, apart from offering exceptional stability and performance.
Focus on Health
One of the standout formulations within the VAS portfolio is Lycobeads VAS TM 10%, which features lycopene. As a powerful antioxidant, lycopene is celebrated for its ability to support cardiovascular health, skin protection, as well as prostate function. With VAS, brands can simplify their formulation processes while ensuring a consistently high-performing product.
Voices from the Experts
“VAS technology opens doors for brands to achieve commercial success through enhanced formulations utilizing best-in-class, nature-based ingredients,” says Megan Dunn, Senior Manager of Global Marketing at Lycored. The introduction of VAS at SupplySide Global allows attendees to appreciate how this technology stands at the crossroads of scientific rigor and market demand for effective wellness solutions that are naturally derived.
Interactive Experience at SupplySide Global
SupplySide Global 2025 attendees have a lot to look forward to besides the VAS technology unveiling. They can participate in a special session led by Elizabeth Tarshish, PhD, Head of Product and Science at Lycored, who will discuss the journey of lycopene from tomato to transformation at the Product Development Theater. This session will provide valuable insights into the bioavailability of lycopene, its proven benefits, and its practical applications in the field.
Additionally, attendees can join Lycored’s Natural Color Solutions Guided Tour, where vibrant innovations drawn from natural sources will be highlighted. Visitors are invited to visit booth #3251, where they can engage through interactive experiences, including a themed silent disco inspired by the vibrant city of Las Vegas.
