We are returning to SupplySide Global 2026 to showcase our branded ingredients and scientific leadership help customers address some of the industry’s fastest-growing opportunities. These include the growing convergence of daily performance and long-term vitality, as well as the rising demand for GLP-1 companion products.
At booth #5565, newly published research across the offering will sit alongside better-for-you food and beverage concepts that enhance nutritional profiles, functionality and sensory appeal.
Science at The Heart of Balchem’s Story
Our SupplySide Global showcase will spotlight the latest research behind its portfolio, including studies that:
- Strengthen evidence behind the role of K2VITAL™, a patented, typically 99.8% all-trans vitamin K2 MK-7, in cardiovascular health1 and uncover potential post-exercise neuromuscular signaling support in older adults.2
- Demonstrate, for the first time with fMRI, how VitaCholine®, the gold standard choline, influences brain network efficiency in post-menopausal women.3
- Highlight how Optifolin+®, the industry’s first choline-enriched folate, delivers a 7x methyl advantage over other folates, with new cutting-edge cell testing showing how the ingredient enhances cellular methylation capacity up to 2.3x and DNA methylation up to 14x, supporting its role in cellular health and epigenetic function.4
- Reveal new breakthrough science that demonstrates OptiMSM®’s impact on female athletic performance.
Breakthrough Combinations and Enhanced Solutions
As well as highlighting new science, we will show how familiar nutrients can be made to work harder for brands.
Albion® Minerals’ Creatine MagnaPower® unites two of the biggest consumer favorites in sports nutrition, creatine and magnesium, in a single formulation that delivers superior muscular performance benefits.4
Visitors can also discover the Albion® Meta Mag® range of magnesium bisglycinate, spanning taste-free solutions and a new high-density form optimized for capsules.
Collectively, these ingredients illustrate Balchem’s broader “Premier Ingredients for Premier Athletes” platform, which addresses the growing consumer desire to support both everyday performance and long-term vitality.
Simplifying Beverage and Format Innovation
Visitors can experience Balchem’s application capabilities firsthand through a range of beverage-focused concepts designed to help brands bring differentiated solutions to market across cognitive health, active nutrition, hydration, and healthy aging platforms.
Featured concepts include a VitaCholine®-fortified Charged Frappé Coffee, for cognitive well-being, and VitalBlend™, a customizable lipid-based powder technology for targeted nutrition applications. Attendees can also learn how Balchem’s Beverage Systems help streamline formulations and accelerate commercialization, all while delivering consistent sensory performance.
Complementing these beverage innovations, samples of protein-enriched chocolate clusters made with Milk Protein Z-Crisps® will be available at the stand, showcasing the company’s broader expertise in nutrition-forward food and beverage solutions.
