TruMask™
Bitter blocker that enhances sweetness
The Perfect Curve of Subtle Sweetness
TruMask™ bitter blocker is the next generation of taste enhancement technology. TruMask™ enhances bitter blocking capabilities by also providing a near instantaneous sweetness on the tongue that naturally rounds out the flavor profile. TruMask™ can be used in unison with sweeteners or as a stand alone to bring a hint of sweetness while blocking negative taste attributes.
