Nuteric Natural Health Products

Nuteric Natural Health Products was a Canadian nutraceutical company that specialized in the development of enteric-coated natural health products. The company's primary focus was on improving the delivery and gastrointestinal tolerability of natural compounds, particularly volatile oils. Its flagship product, an enteric-coated peppermint oil, was developed to provide targeted relief for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) by bypassing the stomach and releasing active ingredients directly in the bowel. The company's research-driven approach helped establish enteric-coated peppermint oil as a recognized natural intervention for digestive health. Nuteric's formulations were designed to minimize common side effects of peppermint oil, such as heartburn, through precise pH-dependent release. The company's operations and intellectual property were eventually integrated into the Factors Group of Nutritional Companies, also known as Natural Factors.
