Join Bionap at Vitafoods (Stand 3C130) to know more about the upcoming new ingredient, live tasting concepts with MUCOSAVE® at the Tasting Centre, and the Pet Nutrition line.
Vitafoods is a key meeting point for the nutraceutical industry, an opportunity to compare strategies, review what is resonating in the market, and translate trends into well-substantiated product concepts. This year, Bionap will be in Barcelona with a focused programme built around science-backed botanical ingredients, finished-product experiences, and portfolio updates designed to support brands across human and pet nutrition.
A key moment in our Vitafoods programme will be our speech at the Nutraceutical Showcase Session (Day 2, 12:30): we will present COGNIGRAPETM, the 2026 ingredient finalist at the NutraIngredient Award in the category of Mind and Mood. COGNIGRAPE™ is our science-backed botanical solution for mental clarity and cognitive performance in both short- and longer-term use. The need for cognitive support now spans multiple life stages and lifestyles—from older adults interested in maintaining performance as they age, to busy professionals navigating demanding routines, and women in peri-menopause who may experience changes that affect clarity, focus, and everyday mental performance.
Do not forget to ask us about the other ingredients that won the NutraIngredients Awards:
- RED ORANGE COMPLEX™ featured in the Beauty from Within category
- MOROSIL in the Weight Management category
If you are looking for ingredients that already stand out for their market relevance and substantiation, we are happy to walk you through the rationale, the differentiators, and the science behind them.
Bionap will also be present at the Tasting Centre with finished concepts featuring MUCOSAVE®, developed for digestive health with a focus on gastro-oesophageal reflux and GI discomfort. MUCOSAVE® is a proprietary, standardised botanical blend, thanks to the soothing activity and gel-forming matrix property of Opuntia polysaccharides, combined with a lenitive effect from olive biophenols, it offers multi-benefit potential. The blend is designed to support mucosal integrity through a mucoadhesive, gel-forming barrier effect, helping protect and soothe sensitive mucosae and promoting comfort in the upper gastrointestinal tract. In our latest work, MUCOSAVE® has shown a particularly fast-acting profile, with relief of key symptoms reported within the first two days of use, making it a strong candidate for concepts where consumers expect noticeable support quickly.
Vitafoods also offers an ideal context to explore how Bionap ingredients can support major market movements that are reshaping product development priorities. In particular, we will discuss how to build credible, consumer-friendly positioning around the GLP-1 trend and how botanical, science-backed solutions can support broader wellbeing needs emerging alongside this shift. We invite visitors to our stand to talk through formulation strategies and claims architecture that remain rigorous, realistic, and market-fit.
In the dedicated Pet Nutrition area, we will present our consolidated pet portfolio, developed to meet clear market needs and demand signals—such as sustainability, clean label expectations, supply chain transparency, and science-backed credibility. Substantiation is a steadily evolving priority for the sector, and Bionap continues to strengthen the evidence base around its pet ingredients over time. In parallel, we bring solid regulatory expertise and an ongoing commitment to staying up to date, supporting partners in navigating requirements and building compliant, reliable product communication in different markets.
Vitafoods will be full of conversations, ideas, and decisions, and Bionap will be right at the centre of them.
