Application in nutritional supplement

Oral dissolving films (ODF) have been increasingly applied in the nutritional supplement field in recent years, primarily due to their convenience, ease of consumption, and fast absorption. Below are some of the main applications of oral dissolving films in dietary supplements:

1. Nutritional Supplements
   Oral dissolving films can encapsulate various nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other supplements into a film format, making it easy for consumers to take them.
   Common applications include:

• Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Calcium tablets, Iron supplements, etc.

• Probiotics, Antioxidants, etc.

• Omega-3, Collagen supplements, etc.

2. Plant Extracts
   Oral dissolving films can concentrate plant extracts (such as Ginseng, Green Tea, Goji Berries, etc.) into a thin film, making it convenient for consumers to supplement them daily. This format helps improve the bioavailability of plant ingredients and avoids the taste issues common in traditional capsules or tablets.
   Common applications include:

• Green Tea Extract, Goji Berry Extract, etc.

• Ginkgo Biloba Extract, Turmeric (Curcumin), etc.

3. Weight Management Products
   Some weight loss supplements (such as those containing CLA, Green Tea Extract, Fiber, etc.) can also be made in the oral dissolving film format to enhance absorption. The rapid dissolution of the film allows the active ingredients to be released more effectively in a short period, helping to kickstart metabolism quickly.

4. Oral Care
   Oral dissolving films can be used not only for nutritional supplements but also for oral health care. For example, films containing antimicrobial agents, mint, or other freshening ingredients can help clean the mouth and prevent bad breath.
   Common applications include:

• Oral fresheners

• Fluoride products to help prevent tooth decay

5. Rapid Absorption of Specific Functional Ingredients
   Oral dissolving films can accelerate the absorption of certain active ingredients, making them ideal for supplements that require quick effects. For example, supplements targeting fatigue, stress, or sleep issues can use oral dissolving films to quickly release active ingredients, helping consumers achieve effects in a short time.
   Common applications include:

• Relaxation and anti-anxiety formulas

• Sleep improvement supplements (e.g., those containing melatonin, licorice, etc.)
