EXPLAINED
Native Ingredient Limitations
Hydropholic Molecule
Low water solubility
Crystalline Structures Ingredient Formation
Poor release
Densely packed crystals
Slow release in the GI tract
DELIVERY TECHNOLOGY INTERVENTION: OPTISOLV®
DUAL COATING SYSTEM
Outer Layer
Phospholipids (ensure stable release over
time, support permeability and taste masking)
Active Core
Poorly soluble ingredient
Inner Layer
Inner cyclodextrin based core (ring shaped starch
molecules that improve solubility)
NATIVE VS OPTISOLV® ENCAPSULATED INGREDIENT FORMS
Native Active
Poor dissolution and low solubility limit absorption in the intestinal tract
OPTISOLV® Active
Crystal-free, dual-coated actives show superior solubility, dissolution, and permeability
Case Study
Native Curcumin Extract 95% (left)
Due to the strong crystalline grid and the hydrophobic structure, native curcumin is completely insoluble.
Curcumin with OPTISOLV® (right)
By applying a dual coating, the water solubility and release of curcumin can be significantly enhanced.
