Infusd Nutrition

Infusd Nutrition is a food technology and ingredient manufacturing company that uses a proprietary emulsion-based solubility technology to convert fat-soluble and insoluble ingredients into water-soluble formats, supplied as either liquids or powders. Ingredients it says it can process include omega-3 fatty acids from multiple sources, fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, curcumin, creatine, ashwagandha, magnesium, functional mushrooms (lion's mane, chaga, reishi, cordyceps), lutein, astaxanthin, phosphatidylserine, botanical extracts, phospholipids and minerals. The resulting ingredients are aimed at ready-to-drink beverages, ready-to-mix powders, nutrient shots, gummies, food fortification and dietary supplements.

A second application line targets clean-label formulation: the company positions its technology as an alternative to synthetic emulsifiers, weighting agents and surfactants for natural colors, flavor systems, natural preservatives and spice extracts. Claimed product attributes include high active payloads, a minimum 24-month shelf stability through processing steps such as pasteurization, carbonation and freezing, improved bioavailability versus standard ingredient equivalents, neutral taste and dispersibility with minor agitation. The company states its products are compliant with FDA GRAS and EFSA requirements, and can be manufactured under SQF, USDA Organic, Kosher, Halal and NSF Certified Sport certifications.

The company frames its market opportunity around consumer "pill fatigue" and the shift toward beverages, gummies and functional foods, formats in which efficacious doses of non-soluble actives are difficult to deliver.

Founding story

Co-founder and chemical engineer David Giffin developed the delivery technology while a vegan triathlete consuming plant-based omega-3 supplements, wondering whether nutritional lipids could be added to a beverage while retaining stability and taste; co-founder Jack MacDonald describes the resulting approach as "more physics than chemistry." Giffin invented the technology while exploring better consumer products using omega-3 hemp seed oil. The company was co-founded by MacDonald, a lawyer, and Giffin, and is built on intellectual property developed over roughly five years at Canadian post-secondary institutions including Dalhousie University.

Business model

Infusd manufactures and supplies transformed ingredients to ingredient suppliers and consumer packaged goods companies, and also enters licensing agreements covering a customer's chosen active ingredient and use case. It additionally offers turnkey concepts for functional foods, beverages and supplements.

Revenue derives from direct supply of ingredients manufactured at its New York facility and from licensing agreements tied to specific actives and applications.

Traction

Commercial debut occurred at SupplySide West in Q4 2023, with initial commercial orders filled in early 2025. The company reported working with a range of customers, a robust supply chain, and, at the time of its 2025 seed round, a staff of six in Nova Scotia. A 2026 interview describes a rapidly growing product portfolio.

Latest developments

In April 2026, trade press reported on the company's emulsion technology enabling functional food and beverage formats with non-soluble ingredients in high doses and on its Symrise partnership delivering combined flavor-and-function turnkey solutions. The company also expanded US manufacturing at its 60,000 sq ft New York facility to scale commercial-scale liquid ingredient production and presented its solubility and stability technologies at IFT First.
