Collaboration expands access to sustained-release solutions designed to enhance ingredient performance and product differentiation
Orangeburg, NY / Lévis, Quebec — May 19, 2026 — RFI Ingredients, a leader in vertically integrated whole food ingredient solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Aventus Innovations Inc. to support the commercialization of NutraJIT®, Aventus’ advanced sustained-release delivery platform, in the U.S.
Through this partnership, RFI will serve as Aventus’ U.S. distribution partner, providing formulators and brands with access to NutraJIT®—a proprietary delivery technology designed to safeguard active ingredients from gastric degradation and deliver them through sustained release to optimize their functional efficacy.
As demand grows for more effective, consumer-friendly nutraceutical products, delivery systems are becoming a critical differentiator. NutraJIT® utilizes a patented pH-triggered coacervation process to enable controlled, sustained release of actives over time, helping maintain consistent nutrient levels while improving tolerability and user experience.
“This collaboration is built on a shared commitment to deliver value,” said William Brochu, Chief Operating Officer at Aventus Innovations. “By combining Aventus’ delivery technology with RFI’s proximity to U.S. formulators and brands, we can support innovation in a way that is practical and market-driven.”
The partnership strengthens RFI’s position as a solution provider, expanding its portfolio beyond ingredients to include advanced delivery technologies that help customers bring more differentiated products to market. With deep relationships across the supplement, functional food, and beverage industries, RFI is uniquely positioned to accelerate adoption of NutraJIT® across a wide range of applications.
“This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to support innovation at every level of product development,” said Jeff Wuagneux, CEO, RFI. “Aventus brings a highly practical, science-backed delivery platform, and together we can help brands create more effective products that meet evolving consumer expectations.”
NutraJIT® is a clean-label, versatile platform compatible with a broad range of active ingredients—including vitamins, minerals, botanicals, amino acids, and probiotics—enabling formulators to design customized release profiles tailored to specific product goals.
The collaboration provides immediate access for U.S. customers to a new class of delivery solutions backed by RFI’s commercial reach and technical expertise, while enabling Aventus to expand its presence and support a broader customer base.
Together, RFI and Aventus aim to drive the next generation of nutraceutical innovation—where ingredient quality and delivery performance work hand in hand to deliver measurable benefits for consumers.
