Instead of masking flavors with additional sweeteners or artificial agents, ClearIQ™ works at the source by harmonizing taste perceptions. It enhances desirable notes and suppresses off-notes naturally and cleanly, helping maintain product integrity while improving consumer appeal.

ClearIQ™ is available in multiple formats, including C100 and A500:

ClearIQ™ C100: A high-precision, concentrated flavor modulation tool ideal for systems with challenging off-notes (e.g., high-intensity sweeteners, caffeine, cannabinoids, bitter botanicals).

ClearIQ™ A500: A broader-range flavor modulator suited for larger formulations, higher inclusion tolerance, and products like nutraceuticals, plant-based snacks, and sugar-alternative systems.

C100 is optimized for targeted off-note suppression, especially in low-flavor, high-impact systems (e.g., beverages, confectionery, functional drinks).
A500 is more versatile, with a wider functional range that supports broader food and beverage matrices where higher loadings or less concentrated modulation is needed.

ClearIQ™ interacts with flavor receptors to diminish the perceived intensity of harsh or unwanted taste attributes (bitter, metallic, sour, astringent) and helps highlight positive notes like sweetness or fruitiness — all without contributing its own flavor. This modulation is especially beneficial in formulations where active ingredients traditionally struggle with palatability.

Yes. ClearIQ™ is water soluble and formulated for easy integration into wet phase, beverage, and emulsified systems, ensuring even dispersion and consistent performance across various product formats.

No. ClearIQ™ does not contribute calories, sugars, or its own detectable flavor — making it suitable for clean-label, low-calorie, and sugar-reduced formulations.

Yes. ClearIQ™ is effective in systems using high-intensity sweeteners, where it helps reduce bitterness and lingering aftertaste without overpowering or altering sweetness.

ClearIQ™ is versatile and applicable across a wide range of products including:
Functional beverages (RTDs, energy drinks, adaptogen drinks)
CBD, CBG, and cannabinoid-infused formats
Protein drinks and plant-based beverages
Gummies and confectionery
Tinctures and nutraceuticals
Syrups, sauces, and dry mixes where off-notes are present

Its broad applicability helps deliver better taste while maintaining clean-label integrity.

Yes. ClearIQ™ can substantially mitigate common plant protein flavors (e.g., beany, earthy) to produce brighter, more neutral flavor profiles in plant-forward products.

Inclusion rates depend on product system and off-note intensity. Because ClearIQ™ works at low concentrations, it’s best to start with minimum effective dosage and increase incrementally while evaluating taste performance. Your technical contact or supplier can provide recommended starting points.

ClearIQ™ can be integrated at multiple stages — in dry blending, pre-mixing, or during liquid formulation — depending on product type. Its water solubility supports efficient dispersion in both wet and dry systems.

Yes. ClearIQ™ is derived from natural mycelial fermentation and aligns with clean-label product objectives. It does not add artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, helping support clean ingredient declarations.

ClearIQ™ typically has a neutral allergen profile, but manufacturers should always consult the most current Certificate of Analysis (COA) and specification sheet for ingredient compliance with specific claims (e.g., gluten-free, vegan, kosher).
