Radix Nutrition's AI Platform Revolutionizes Dairy Product Formulation

New Zealand-based Radix Nutrition has unveiled a pioneering AI-driven platform that transforms its approach to product formulation. This new technology has enabled the company to launch 60 upgraded products, including freeze-dried breakfast cereals, protein powders, and smoothies. A notable product is a breakfast cereal featuring milk fat globule membrane phospholipids and dairy proteins supplied by Fonterra, designed to offer a 45% higher nutritional value with benefits for cognitive health and performance.

Radix Nutrition's platform, described by founder and CEO Mike Rudling as 'computational nutrition,' integrates dietary data from 90 countries and scientific databases to tailor nutritional requirements globally. This system contains comprehensive nutrient data from 45 food categories, offering detailed profiles of essential nutrients such as amino acids and carbohydrates.

The platform's computational capabilities have significantly increased efficiency, completing 250,000 calculations in four seconds compared to months of manual work. This advancement allows for rapid development of products that meet specific nutritional targets, leveraging proprietary dairy components like MFGM for functional benefits.

Radix's AI platform employs large language model technology for interactive formulation discussions, suggesting improvements to optimize nutritional density, taste, and cost. This capability positions Radix to adapt quickly to regulatory demands for nutritional transparency, maintaining scientific rigor in its formulation processes.
