Processing Aids
Even with the ever evolving range of delivery forms for nutritional products, the majority of consumers are still taking some type of supplement as a tablet or softgel. Many manufacturers of these supplements are challenged by the processing of these products, while formulators are challenged by ensuring absorption of the proper nutrients. ABITEC provides solutions for both improving manufacturing inefficiencies and enhancing absorption.
The Plight of the Honeybees
Did you know that almost one-third of what you eat comes from foods that are naturally pollinated and the vast majority of it is done by honey bees? In addition, beeswax is used in many medications to assist in pain relief and lowering your cholesterol. Unfortunately, this costly natural ingredient may not be available for much longer! Bees are increasingly disappearing from their colonies and their survival is quickly dwindling. Without this much desired product available, how will manufacturers continue to meet demands?
The Solution….
Captex® MCT oils act as lubricants and allow for printing, and painting of soft gels. Captex can be used in soft gel fill solutions to increase solubility and bioavailability of insoluble compounds, and in tableting as an anti-adhesive and polishing agent.
