Proteins, Plant Extracts, Enzymes & Probiotics Protecting an active during the transition through the stomach is crucial to maximise absorption in the lower intestines. The highly acidic environment coupled with presence of digestive enzymes act together to deactivate actives. Not only are protected actives able to retain their structure (proteins) or activity (enzymes), they are […]
Controlled Intestinal Release
Proteins, Plant Extracts, Enzymes, Lipids, Pharmaceuticals & Probiotics In response to elevated pH conditions, similar to intestinal conditions, the alginate microgels swells and starts to disintegrate. This initiates the release of active from within the microgels. How quickly the contents are released can be modulated by the concentration of calcium used to gel the microgels. […]
