Consumers demand the highest quality and integrity in nutritional supplements. They want products that taste good – and provide health benefits based on superior performance ingredients. They want to know that a supplement works, and that it contains the levels of ingredients indicated on the label.
And for manufacturers, the wellness product industry is fraught with processing challenges caused by the inherently sensitive nature of bioactive substances.
Whether it’s the premature reaction of ingredients when combined, or the damaging effects of environmental conditions such as heat, oxygen, moisture, light or pH, the result is products that can taste or smell bad, and fail to deliver on their therapeutic promise due to reduced bioavailability.
...through Maxx Microencapsulation.
Maxx Performance microencapsulation protects ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and
amino acids such as arginine from traditional losses during processing and
storage, and delivers these nutrients in highly bioavailable forms for use
in different fortification applications. These Control Release Delivery
Systems allow manufacturers to:
Regulate the release of ingredients
- The specific time, temperature and release of nutrients up and down the gastrointestinal tract. The release is triggered by factors such as pH and enzyme activity
- The release of active nutrients for precise delivery
- The release of active nutrients or biologics at precise absorption sites
Shield nutrients from the environment
- Temperature and pH changes
- Microbial degradation
- Degradation and undesirable interactions
- Air, light and metal to maintain potency
- Nuisance, dust control of ingredients
Deliver higher quality product
- Stabilized free-flowing nutrients with longer shelf life
- Nutrients to replenish the antioxidant status associated with stress
- Biologics for inclusion in different food and dietary supplements preparations that involves higher temperature
- Taste masking of undesirable flavors and odors while delivering desirable attributes
- Consistent nutrient quality cost-effectively
