In today’s health-conscious world, the pressure is on to reduce sugar-without sacrificing taste, texture, or consumer trust.
Across Europe, a majority of people believe sticking to recommended sugar limits is key to a healthy lifestyle. In Germany alone, 60% of consumers admit they struggle to control how much sugar they eat or drink.
But creating healthy products that people actually enjoy isn’t easy. Reformulation is complicated, and many brands don’t have the in-house expertise to navigate the world of rare sugars, functional fibres, and clean-label innovation.
At Nutritelligence, we help brands respond to this challenge-intelligently.
As the exclusive partner of Intelligent Sugar GmbH, we help food and beverage companies unlock the full potential of Dr Coy’s patented sugars and ingredients designed to work with the body, not against it.
We go beyond just licensing
Our Ingredient Consultancy Service is designed to support companies at every stage of product development-from first concept to final formula. Whether you’re reformulating an existing product or launching something completely new, we provide the expert insight and practical tools to make it healthier and taste better.
We understand that every brand is different, which is why we tailor our support to your needs. We help create a brand narrative around overall metabolic health.
Our advice is rooted in science
Dr Coy’s research into sugar metabolism and the TKTL1 gene revealed how certain rare sugars – naturally found in plants, milk, and honey – can play a supportive role in avoiding sugar spikes, balancing blood glucose levels, reducing risk of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer’s and cancer.
Used correctly, these sugars not only mimic the taste and texture of classic sugars but also help reduce blood glucose spikes after consumption, reduce caries risk, and helps provide normal energy yielding metabolism – European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)
Consumers want this
Mintel’s latest findings show that the top purchase drivers for healthy food include natural ingredients and low sugar content-but also great taste and affordability. That’s why our approach doesn’t rely on artificial sweeteners, which many people now avoid due to growing health concerns and stricter food scoring systems like Nutri-Score.
Instead, Nutritelligence helps you integrate Dr Coy’s sugars with proven health benefits and superior functional properties – into your product line without compromising consumer expectations.
Our support includes:
• Recipe refinement
• Functional ingredient matching
• Strategic product positioning
• Scientific education and support
Rising obesity rates – especially among children – are driving global health concerns. Lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer are increasingly linked to poor diet and excess sugar intake. In response, governments have introduced the sugar tax on sugary drinks, sugar reduction programmes targeted at products popular among children and introducing bans in advertising foods high in fat, sugar and salt on TV and online. Dr Coy’s Sugars, thanks to their low-glycaemic impact and proven health benefits, are exempt from sugar taxes. This positions your brand at a strategic advantage—not only in aligning with evolving regulations, but also in leading a market increasingly driven by demand for authentic, health-promoting products.
More consumers are monitoring their blood glucose and energy levels, adopting “medical-style” diets – even without formal diagnoses. They’re not just looking for healthier options; they want products that actively support long-term wellbeing.
By partnering with Nutritelligence, you’re gaining access to a revolutionary change in nutritional science, a growing catalogue of high-performance ingredients, and a support system committed to turning food into a force for good.
With the right ingredients, anything is possible.
