Kappa Bioscience, maker of K2VITAL vitamin K2 MK-7 unveiled its new “ready-to-launch” product concepts at Vitafoods Europe. Kappa has designed over 20 products that are available for license-free white-label launch as part of its ExperienceCard program. An additional 135 finished formulations were presented (and are available for white-label) in the 4th edition of the vitamin K2 Formulation LookBook (2018) released at Vitafoods.
Kappa launched the ExperienceCard program to complement its deep formulation experience with K2 concepts backed by physical products. The 2018 concepts are the result of collaboration between Kappa and industry-leading partners such as Nutrinovate, ConCordix, Unette and Milsing. Each concept product represents an innovation in K2 formulation or dosage technology.
Concepts were designed to solve a market problem or address a consumer group in a novel way. K2VITAL vitamin K2 MK-7 provides the core ingredient in each of the 20 ExperienceCard products. Vitamin K2 targets bone and heart health by 'Putting Calcium in Balance.' The bone and heart-health benefits of K2VITAL are relevant to all consumer types and 10 market categories. Each were available for sampling at the Kappa ‘Diner’ and at tasting and sampling zones throughout the show. For example, K2KIDSVITAL SOFT CHEW (ConCordix) and K2VITAL CHOCO BAR (Milsing) were unveiled at the Tasting Center and K2VITAL Energy Sports Gel (Unette) was showcased in the Sports Nutrition Zone Sampling Bar.
All ExperienceCard concepts are ready-to-launch white-label products that are available for launch as-is or customized to meet consumer, market or brand needs. The 135 bone health, heart health and multivitamin concepts in the 2018 edition of the K2 Formulation LookBook offer additional product opportunities for launch or customization.
Jörg Büttinghaus, Kappa Bioscience VP sales and marketing, explained, “The success of the 2017 ExperienceCard program exceeded even our highest expectations, including one example where we helped a customer launch a new product less than a week after first contact.” He continued, “by investing in R&D, and with our deep formulation and galenical experience, Kappa has helped many customers speed the time to product launch using our K2VITAL ingredient.”
Egil Greve, CEO of Kappa expanded on how the K2 Formulation LookBook provides a strategic roadmap for customers. He noted, “Our customers typically start by launching one or two K2 products that target a specific consumer or market category. As their experience with K2 grows, the LookBook provides concrete examples of how to build or extend market share in other parts of their portfolio.” He added, “The bone and heart-health benefits of K2 are relevant in all stages of life, and K2VITAL provides complimentary health benefits to four top-selling co-ingredients … calcium, magnesium, D3 and omega-3. The LookBook is literally a recipe book for success.”
