Business development: on the road again!
The last few months have been very busy for our business development and marketing team!
In February, Jocelyn swapped the Quebec winter for the California sun to attend the Sports & Active Nutrition Summit USA 2025 in San Diego. At the same time, Pauline traveled to New York to attend the Integrative Healthcare Symposium.
In April, the whole team went to the SupplySide Connect 2025 trade show in Secaucus, New Jersey. In May, Jocelyn traveled to Barcelona for the first ever Spanish edition of the Vitafoods Europe 2025 trade show, where he joined our partners at Abyss Ingredients. In October, we were in Las Vegas for SupplySide Global 2025.
We would like to extend our warmest thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat or learn about our products.
Science & innovation: Spotlight on the sea
A new extract?!
At SupplySide Connect 2025, we introduced attendees to PalX, our latest innovation.
What was it? Sourced from wild Atlantic dulse (Palmaria palmata) and transformed locally in Canada, PalX is a concentrated 6:1 liquid extract delivering over 1,000 mg of dulse per serving 🌊.
And right now you’re probably wondering what the benefits of this seaweed are?! Well, here they are… Its richness in antioxidants, marine minerals and amino acids gives it several benefits such as promoting cellular health ⚡, natural detoxification 🌿 and overall vitality 🧠.
Sustainably harvested and eco-consciously processed, PalX is a clean and powerful marine superfood for modern wellbeing. What’s more, this extract is certified organic and GMO-free!
Meanwhile, our flagship ingredient inSea2 continues to impress!
Over the last few months, several members of our team tested inSea2 using continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and the results were outstanding!
We shared these results during joint webinars, one organized with our distributor Abyss Ingredients and another one with our distributor Trades . 🎥 Missed the webinar? No worries, we’ve created a flyer presenting the CGM results.
And for those who love data: we’ve also compared the alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity of inSea2 with several other market ingredients. Curious about the results? Get in touch, Jocelyn Bérubé, our VP of Scientific and Regulatory Affairs, will be happy to tell you more. 📤 All you need to do is reply to this newsletter saying that you would like to know more about InSea2’s latest results.
People & achievements: Because progress is also personal
Behind every project, every innovation and every success, there are people. In 2026, our team members also reached personal milestones worth celebrating.
Because at innoVactiv, we believe that personal fulfillment is the driving force behind professional excellence.
What's brewing?
We can’t reveal everything yet, but we have several projects in the works that we can’t wait to share with you…. One of them could be a new product. To find out, come see us at SupplySide Connect 2026 at booth #236 on April 14 and 15!
