01
Water
Evaluate moisture exposure and the needs of the active-containing phase.
Advanced CENTER-FILL Gummy Delivery Technology
Protect the Active. Preserve the Possibility.
Advanced gummy delivery technology for ingredients that don't normally play well with gummies.
Active-Saver® is Global Products Group's proprietary gummy delivery technology platform designed to create a more controlled environment for sensitive active ingredients.
Protection by design
Start with the ingredient's challenge.
Engineer the gummy around the needs of the active. A specialized environment creates more options for addressing formulation challenges.
02
Oxygen
Explore formulation approaches for oxidation-sensitive ingredients.
03
Heat
Consider ingredient sensitivity throughout development and processing.
04
Light
Evaluate light sensitivity alongside formulation and packaging choices.
05
Ingredient Interactions
Explore physical separation where ingredients are difficult to formulate together.
More Than a Gummy. A Delivery Technology.
One Gummy. Multiple Environments.
More than a center-filled gummy: a multiphase architecture allows the active-containing phase to be formulated separately from the surrounding gummy matrix.
01
Protective outer shell
The surrounding gummy matrix provides the consumer-facing format and is developed around the needs of the overall system.
02
Engineered interface
The relationship between phases is considered as part of the complete delivery architecture.
03
Specialized active phase
A distinct phase creates formulation options for sensitive actives, including ingredients suited to lipid-based environments.
Conceptual architecture. Composition and performance depend on the individual application and testing.
The first proof point
Proven First With Ubiquinol
Kaneka Ubiquinol® is a proof-of-concept application for Active-Saver®.
It demonstrates the platform's ingredient-first approach: develop the active environment, then engineer the gummy around it. Explore the dedicated Ubiquinol FAQ for application-specific information.
Ubiquinol-specific findings do not establish performance for other ingredients.

Common questions
Explore the technology.
What is Active-Saver®?
It is Global Products Group's proprietary gummy delivery technology platform, designed to create a more controlled environment for sensitive active ingredients.
How is it different from a conventional gummy?
A multiphase approach allows the active-containing phase to be formulated separately from the surrounding gummy matrix.
Is it only for Ubiquinol?
No. Kaneka Ubiquinol® is a proof-of-concept application. Other ingredients require their own development and evaluation.
What ingredient types may be evaluated?
Candidates may include oxidation-, moisture-, heat-, and light-sensitive actives, oil-soluble ingredients, and ingredients requiring physical separation.
Can it accommodate lipid-based systems?
Lipid-based active phases can be explored. Suitability depends on the ingredient and the complete formulation.
Can probiotics be evaluated?
They may be considered for feasibility evaluation. Compatibility, viability, and stability must be established for the specific strain and finished product.
Does it guarantee stability?
No. Each application requires analytical evaluation and appropriate stability testing. Performance and shelf life are product-specific.
Can the technology be incorporated into a partner brand?
Contact GPG to discuss formulation goals, development requirements, and a potential partner-brand project.
