As CPHI Frankfurt 2025 (October 28–30 at Messe Frankfurt) approaches, the global nutraceutical, supplement, and functional ingredient sectors are preparing for their biggest conversations of the year.
From ingredient suppliers to finished product innovators, everyone’s focus is on innovation, compliance, and consumer-centric delivery.
At E-Hiker Nutrition GmbH, our mission goes beyond supplying ingredients — we empower brands to bring certified, market-ready products to life through premium raws, functional gummies, softgels, and OEM formulation support.
Trend #1 — Clean-Label and Sustainable Sourcing Take Centre Stage
Consumers today don’t just read labels — they research them. “Clean-label” now means traceable, certified, and sustainable sourcing backed by transparent documentation.
E-Hiker’s Contribution
- EU Organic Certified under Regulation (EU) 2018/848
- Organic Range: D-Mannose (birch wood origin), Cranberry Extract (organic grade), Pea Protein (organic), Rice Protein (organic)
- Full Traceability & Flexible MOQ from our Hamburg warehouse
- Compliant Documentation: COA, MSDS/TDS, batch traceability, organic certificates
Insight: Clean sourcing isn’t a marketing point anymore — it’s an entry requirement. Retailers and consumers alike are demanding proof of purity and origin.
Trend #2 — Format Innovation: Gummies, Softgels & Hybrid Delivery
The shift toward convenient and enjoyable delivery formats continues to reshape the market. CPHI 2025 will spotlight the power of gummies, softgels, and multi-functional dosage forms.
What We Offer
- Functional Gummies: Collagen, Vitamins, Ashwagandha, Creatine Gummies for sports & wellness markets
- Softgels: Ideal for lipid-soluble actives like CoQ10, Vitamin K2 (MK-7 fermented), and botanical extract blends
- OEM & Private Label Support: We co-develop flavors, formulations, and packaging tailored to your market
Insight: Format diversity is now a brand differentiator — not a niche. Gummies and softgels are leading sales growth across EU retail, particularly among Gen Z and wellness-focused adults.
Trend #3 — Performance Meets Wellness
The line between sports nutrition and wellness continues to blur. Consumers now want recovery, energy, hydration, and mental clarity — all in everyday products.
E-Hiker’s Solutions
- Performance Actives: Ca-AKG, BCAAs, L-Citrulline, L-Carnitine Series
- Longevity & Wellness: NMN, NR, PEA, Citicoline & SAMe
- Electrolyte and Hydration Blends: Customized powder formulas for recovery & rehydration
- OEM Support: Blend sports & wellness benefits into one formulation (e.g., hydration + energy + focus)
Insight: Modern consumers train, travel, and work under stress — they need products that support both body and mind. Hybrid formulations are where real innovation happens.
Trend #4 — Agility, Compliance & Supply Chain Readiness
In the post-COVID landscape, EU stock availability, documentation, and lead-time control define supplier reliability.
E-Hiker’s Advantage
- EU Warehouse (Hamburg) for faster delivery
- Regulatory-Ready Documentation for EU compliance
- MOQ Flexibility: 1–25 kg options for startups & large manufacturers
- Quality Management: ISO 22000, GMP, HACCP standards and third-party testing
Insight: Choosing suppliers who can provide stock, traceability, and EU-compliant paperwork saves months in market entry time.
Trend #5 — Innovation in Active Nutrients
Scientific actives and high-purity compounds are shaping the future of nutraceuticals. At CPHI 2025, discussions around longevity compounds, metabolic regulators, and cognitive enhancers will take center stage.
Our Featured Actives
- NMN & NR (99% HPLC) – for NAD⁺ metabolism and cellular repair
- Ca-AKG (Calcium Alpha-Ketoglutarate) – for energy and longevity
- PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide) – for pain & inflammation support
- Citicoline & SAMe – for cognitive and mood balance
- Marigold Extract (Lutein & Zeaxanthin) – for eye & skin health
