JRF Technology LLC, which manufactures water-soluble and edible films, has launched an edible film strip with BerryShield Elderberry from INS Farms, a grower, producer, and supplier in North America of black elderberry (Sambucus nigra).
 
Surveys have shown that four out of 10 North Americans report having difficulty swallowing pills, which can often lead to poor supplement compliance.
 
JRF Technology delivers research and development services and product formulation for transforming soluble polymers into easy-to-use value-added consumer products. The company has now entered the nutraceutical industry, offering contract manufacturing services focusing on white label opportunities to both dietary supplement companies and retail brands.
 
Currently JRF is working with other science based ingredients such as Fruit d’Or cranberry Cran d’Or and beta-glucan from Immudyne, branded as Puremune  
 
JRF Technology provides services in formulating, blending, and mixing ingredients needed for manufacturing a superior film that can be easily changed into functional forms including die cut contours, film strips, and new designs for packaging materials.
 
The company’s proprietary technology featuring edible polymers opens new doors for implementing a consumer-friendly delivery system that can include a variety of desirable benefits such as color, flavor, sweetener, or other ingredients for dietary supplements, vitamins, and nutraceuticals.
