Development of nutritional supplement formulations
Personalisation platform
Based in Waterford, Reso Health is a Life Sciences company redefining the role of functional nutrition in the workplace. Reso Health are addressing the issue of poor nutrition in the workplace, and the resulting personal and professional costs.
The solution can be as simple as providing access to proper nutrition to help with employee well-being, improving cognition, energy, or resilience levels, and allowing employees to
be healthier and happier. Reso Health has broken down the standard multivitamin into individual essential vitamins, minerals and flavours, making it easy for our customers to build a product
that works for them when they need it most. Their personalisation platform converts your health status, goals, demographics and lifestyle into an individual multivitamin
recipe, which is then prepared by their dispensing machine as a tasty supplement drink, ready to enjoy in a range of flavours.
Development of nutritional supplement formulations
Reso Health are developing nutritional supplement formulations that can be readily dispensed into drinks. PMBRC were asked to support the formulation of nutritional extracts which could be conveniently handled by the consumer, deliver a fixed amount
of extract and maintain the critical quality attributes of the extract (e.g. extract stability, appearance, beverage dispersibility) over time. The PMBRC evaluated a number of different formulation approaches and made recommendations on the future
formulation strategy of the nutritional supplements.

“PMBRC helped us to try out various strategies for the formulation of our nutritional
extracts. We were able to identify the best approach for dispensing these extracts into
drinks and we are progressing our product development programme on the back of the
results from the project.”Ken O’Shea, Co-founder and CTO, Reso Health
The Reso & PMBrc Technology Gateway partnership
The project allowed Reso Health to rule out certain formulation approaches which were unsuitable for the target extracts and instead focus on formulations routes which were more likely to succeed. This has enabled Reso Health to push forward with their product
development programme.
