Our know-how in sensory actives
The power
of the senses in the service of well-being
At Phodé Human Care, we believe in the power of the olfactory sense to transform the nutraceutical experience. Our in-depth knowledge of the link between smell and behaviour leads us to explore the health and well-being benefits of natural olfactory molecules and to offer innovative active ingredients tailored to the food supplement market.
Phodé’s unique approach lies in the unprecedented mode of action of our sensory actives, which take the retro-nasal pathway. Our solutions are designed to offer consumers a pleasant and distinctive sensory experience while delivering proven efficacy.
Sensoriality,
a key market trend
Today, consumers are increasingly attentive to the overall experience offered by nutraceutical products. Sensory aspects, such as smell, taste and texture, play a crucial role in product acceptance and effectiveness. The nutraceutical market is evolving rapidly, with growing demand for solutions that are both effective and pleasant to consume.
Our expertise:
olfaction
With our expertise in olfaction, we develop effective sensory actives that enhance the user experience. Our approach is based on an in-depth understanding of olfactory and sensory mechanisms, enabling us to design solutions that positively stimulate the senses while promoting well-being. After many years of research, we have identified active molecules that, through olfaction, have a measurable impact on emotions, stress management and sleep. Our actives are scientifically validated to deliver tangible and sensorially pleasant results, ensuring greater consumer adherence.
An innovative mode of action
for a nutraceutical active
From the Nose to the Brain. Often relagated to the unconscious, the olfactory sense is nevertheless the only sense with a direct connection to the brain, providing privileged access to areas involved in emotions and memory.
Our olfactory sense is the most complex, yet the least understood of our five senses. Smell is the primary sense of humans, but we truly realize its importance and its profound link to our emotions only when we suffer from anosmia (loss of smell).
Olfaction
and its mechanisms
When we smell something, a nerve impulse reaches the limbic system. The olfactory message is analysed by our brain before being translated into a sensation of pleasure or displeasure. Olfaction brings buried memories back to our consciousness and causes psycho-physical changes such as calming stress, inducing relaxation, promoting sleep and improving concentration.
