HERMES NutriCaps
There's a huge market demand for food supplements in today's health-conscious world – but many consumers find conventional tablets and capsules difficult to swallow. HERMES NutriCaps offer a new way to take food supplements and overcome these barriers to a healthier lifestyle.
HERMES NutriCaps are a novel approach to deliver food supplements. People can use the Nespresso* hard-pod coffee machine in their kitchen to prepare supplements as a delicious and nutritious hot drink. Simple, fast and convenient, HERMES NutriCaps help consumers stick to their health resolutions with a daily boost, occasional treat or a pick-me-up. HERMES NutriCaps can contain a wide range of nutrients, from vitamins, minerals and botanicals to superfoods and organic grade ingredients, to meet a wide variety of health needs. They are available in a range of flavors to suit individual tastes and can fulfill special dietary requirements, such as vegan, halal or sugar-free.
Discover HERMES NutriCaps, the new generation of food supplements
- HERMES NutriCaps are safe, simple and fast to prepare.
- Their application is easy and already learned.
- They eliminate onerous boiling of water using a kettle.
- There is no need to reprogram coffee machine, simply choose “lungo” size (approx. 110 ml).
- HERMES NutriCaps are easy to use and to dose.
HERMES NutriCaps consumers get additional usage from their existing Nespresso* machine, with no residues or carry-over effects between coffee and the HERMES NutriCap drink. With a pleasant taste and different flavors to suit personal preferences, HERMES NutriCaps offer an enjoyable alternative for people who want to take health supplements but dislike swallowing tablets and capsules. HERMES NutriCaps makes taking supplements easy and fun - part of a beloved daily ritual, similar to enjoying a cup of coffee.
Manufacturing expertise
All HERMES NutriCaps contain food supplements as powders or granules. Product development and manufacture of these require specific expertise. We apply our formulation and taste-masking know-how to create a pleasant tasting hot drink with a harmonious composition, ensuring flavors work well with the nutrients. Using our specialist manufacturing equipment, contents can be precisely dosed, as it is required for high quality food supplements.
The prepared drinks (end products) are always consistent in terms of dose, taste and color. Unlike with tea and coffee, preparation of the HERMES NutriCaps drink transfers 100% of the capsule contents into the hot drink. This leaves the capsule completely empty and ensures easy, accurate dosing. There are no residues or carry-over effects between coffee and the HERMES NutriCap drink.

HERMES NutriCaps cater for individual tastes and dietary requirements.
