The pharmaceutical industry has made significant technological advances in recent years, particularly in the development of water-based liquid products such as solutions, syrups, dropper bottles, small vials, and stick packs. These formulations are specifically designed for infants and young children (ages 0-3), a particularly delicate group requiring the highest safety and quality levels.
By the European Union’s Regulation 1333/2008 on food additives, the use of common preservatives such as sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate is prohibited in products for this pediatric category to protect children’s health.
We have developed liquid dietary supplements that ensure safety and stability without the use of preservatives. Our challenge has been to maintain high product quality and stability, ensuring safe microbiological protection while strictly adhering to all regulations for early childhood safety.
Our liquid products, such as oral solutions and drops, are particularly popular for infants and children because they are easier to administer compared to solid forms like tablets or capsules. Thanks to a preservative-free system, we have achieved:
- Microbiological stability: Liquid solutions are susceptible to microbial growth, reducing shelf life and compromising product safety.
- Absence of preservatives: Regulation 1333/2008 restricts the use of preservatives like sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate in children’s supplements. These preservatives are commonly used to prevent bacterial and fungal growth, but their elimination requires alternative technologies.
Water-Based, Preservative-Free Liquid Dietary Supplements for Children: Omeobimbo Technology
Thanks to our Omeobimbo technology, it is now possible to produce water-based liquid dietary supplements without preservatives and fully comply with additive regulation 1333/2008.
This is ideal for products such as:
– Vitamin drops for infants and children
– Probiotic solutions for children, packaged in single-dose bottles reduce the risk of contamination after opening and allow for greater probiotic vitality, thanks to the absence of sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate, which may otherwise temporarily compromise probiotic vitality.
