SupplySide Global brings together leaders across the nutritional and functional products industry, with a strong focus on functional food and beverages, nutraceutical ingredients, and emerging wellness innovations. As one of the year’s key events for the nutraceutical sector, it offers a valuable look at the ingredients, formats, and trends shaping what comes next.

Metarom USA’s Expertise

Elevate your health without giving up the flavors you love. Metarom brings indulgence and functionality together, helping brands create functional food, beverages, and gummies that deliver both enjoyable taste and added nutritional benefits.

Trends

Health and wellness continue to shape consumer choices, with people looking for functional benefits in more of the foods and beverages they enjoy every day. At the same time, expectations for taste, nutrition, sustainability, and functionality are rising.

As consumers become more mindful of ingredients such as caffeine, brands are exploring new formulations and functional alternatives. These innovations can help overcome common barriers such as flavor, mouthfeel, and nutritional appeal while still delivering the benefits consumers are seeking.

Energy – Pineapple/Guava Dirty Soda

Our Functional Beverages

We will also be presenting two innovative functional beverages:

Clear-Protein: Peach-Mango

As a refined, filtered, and processed version of basic protein, clear protein delivers up to 90% protein, with almost all fat and carbohydrates removed. This new way to consume protein lets people drink a light, juice-like drink that’s easy to sip while still getting all the functional benefits.

Clear protein offers refreshing alternatives to traditional protein drinks, highlighting healthy benefits with fruity flavors.

Energy Drink: Watermelon-Raspberry with Ginseng Extract

Energy drinks have become an everyday lifestyle beverage, and the market is now seeking innovation, cleaner formulations, and cross-functionality. We chose Ginseng Extract as a caffeine alternative to deliver cleaner energy/focus with fewer perceived trade-offs such as sleep disruption, jitters, and crashes.

See you in Las Vegas!
