Infusd Nutrition

What Infusd Nutrition does

Infusd Nutrition is a Canadian food technology company founded in 2023 and headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia, that has developed proprietary ingredient transformation technology to convert fat-soluble and insoluble nutrients — including Omega-3s, Vitamins A/D/E/K, Curcumin, Creatine, adaptogens (Ashwagandha), nootropics (Lion's Mane, Chaga, Reishi, Cordyceps), and carotenoids (Lutein, Astaxanthin) — into stable, water-soluble liquid or powder formats without harsh chemicals or synthetic emulsifiers. The technology platform addresses core formulation pain points in the food, beverage, wellness, and supplement industries: poor bioavailability of standard fat-soluble ingredients, formulation instability through pasteurization/carbonation/freezing, clean-label compliance, and taste/mouthfeel disruption. Performance claims include industry-leading payloads, a minimum 24-month shelf stability, greater bioavailability versus standard equivalents, and neutral taste profiles.

The company operates a B2B enterprise sales model targeting food and beverage manufacturers, supplement and wellness brands, and more recently alternative protein producers. Revenue is generated through ingredient supply contracts and technology licensing arrangements, with quote-based pricing rather than publicly disclosed rates. Its commercial strategy combines direct sales to formulation and R&D teams at brand customers with go-to-market leverage from flagship partnerships with global ingredient distributors Symrise and Caldic, who provide access to established channels. Co-founders David Giffin and Jack MacDonald lead the company, which secured an oversubscribed US$2 million+ seed round in April 2025 led by NextGen Nutrition Investment Partners, with participation from Nourish Ventures and Agthia Ventures, following an earlier CAD$241,500 investment from Natural Products Canada in December 2023.
