SuperBlend® Custom Nutrient Premixes

Some production processes can adversely affect the potency of certain nutrients within a blend. In addition, ingredient reactivity, instability, and offensive sensory characteristics can cause significant problems during product development. Our value-added SuperBlend® premix solutions can overcome those obstacles by delivering performance and stability in high-temperature and shear processes in extruded bars, breakfast cereals, and viscous, opaque beverages.

SuperBlend® premixes are advantageous to use because they:
  • Consolidate multiple nutrients into a quality-assured sigle-steo ingredient.
  • Incorporate any combinations of coated SuperCoat® ingredients with uncoated nutrients.
  • Deliver economies of scale by simplifying ingredient procurement through a single supplier, i.e. The Wright Group.
  • Provide better particle homogeneity via careful blending of multiple ingredients.
  • Decrease warehousing and inventory costs.
  • Prevent settling or layering of ingredients.
  • Possess excellent flow properties allowing metering that simplifies automatic dispensing and packaging.

SuperCoat® Microencapsulated Nutrients

Vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients possess unique characteristics that can affect the appearance, color, and odor of the final product. Microencapsulation is an effective method of masking unwanted sensory characteristics while maximizing nutrient function. SuperCoat®, our most recent innovation using our proprietary SMART™ process, envelops particles at the microscopic level in a protective shell. This value-added coating technology delivers superior performance and stability of essential nutrients for a wide range of multifunctional ingredients. In addition to its innovative design, all SuperCoat® nutrients are rigorously tested throughout the entire production process and are quality-checked to ensure purity, potency, and performance.

SuperCoat® nutrients improve products by offering:
  • Superior shelf-life stability.
  • Improved durability in extreme processing conditions.
  • Enhanced taste and odor masking.
  • Payload and coating flexibility.
  • Sustained and time-release coating technology.


SuperTab® Direct Compressible Granulations

Dietary supplement manufacturers are facing more competition than ever as the functional food market continues to grow. In response dietary supplement manufacturers are combining a greater variety of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and nutraceuticals into tablet, capsule, and soft gel supplement formats. This becomes even more critical in dietary supplements where even distribution and consistent particle size are essential to proper tablet compression. Rather than outsource granulations from a third-party manufacturer, The Wright Group has committed to developing technologies and processes in-house to effectively and efficiently manufacture SuperTab® direct compressible granulations.

Possessing excellent flowability and compression properties, SuperTab® granulations:
  • Deliver essential nutrients in uniform, free-flowing, granular powders ideal for high-speed tableting.
  • Supply desired nutritional levels in concentrated dosages.
  • Possess excellent stability and consistency within tablets and exhibit improved tableting characteristics.
  • Can be incorporated into custom drum-to-hopper tablet blends, creating a single-step addition that increases productivity and reduces errors throughout your production process.
  • Are stringently manufactured to deliver uniform particle distribution and high-bulk density.
  • Are thoroughly tested for potency and performance and accompanied by a complete Certificate of Analysis.
  • Offer flexible batch or bulk packaging options to enhance product homogeneity and improve line productivity.
