Protect the ingredient, and the formula around it

Overview:
Some ingredients are difficult neighbours. Iron is the clearest example: it oxidises on contact with air, it carries a metallic taste consumers reject, and it quietly degrades the vitamin C and vitamin A sitting next to it in the same capsule. Polyphenols in the formula push it from the absorbable ferrous form into the ferric form the body struggles to use, and free iron in the gut brings nausea and discomfort that stop people taking the product at all. A supplement that upsets the stomach is not a quality problem for the manufacturer. It is a repeat purchase problem for the brand.

Approach:
We coat the ingredient before it ever meets the rest of the blend. Microencapsulation places a shell around the active on a carrier, so the material is protected from moisture and heat before, during and after packaging, from oxygen while it sits on the shelf, and in some cases from stomach acid, which improves absorption where it matters instead of releasing everything at once. The taste never reaches the consumer because the coating never opens in the mouth.

The same technique solves a second problem: homogenisation of materials that refuse to stay mixed. When CBD paste kept forming sediment, we homogenised it, sprayed it onto a zeolite carrier and produced granules with exact, verifiable content, then encapsulated those. It became one of the first CBD granulates made in Europe.

Microencapsulation is more demanding than granulation and depends heavily on the raw material, because pressure and temperature have to suit the active. We assess feasibility on your specific ingredient before promising anything.
