Taking Standardized Dietary Supplement Formulations To the Next Pharma-class Level
Challenge
Pharma companies provided industry leadership by applying rigorous pharma-level product standardization to their botanical and dietary supplement products portfolio. In contrast to their drug products, most frequently with a single API, dietary supplement products can each incorporate an array of natural APIs without regulatory limitation.
Unfortunately, many botanical APIs and other dietary supplement APIs are frequently characterized by a combination of the following unattractive technical limitations: low purity of the APIs in the raw material, notoriously foul-taste (outside pills and capsules), low water-solubility, low bioavailability, gastrointestinal side effects; and spike-and-crash phenomena.
As consumers are reluctant to take more than 2 pills/capsules in a single episode, frequently, pharma companies are forced to compromise the effectiveness of their formulations in favor of a tolerable consumption experience, especially with children and the elderly.
Vital Solution
Vital Technologies’ novel NT2 (Nutrient Transport Technology) micro-encapsulation technology enables, for the first time, to provide effective (and high) dose, multi-API formulations of natural APIs in a liquid format, while maintaining a superb taste, mouth feel and consumption experience. A formulation originally requiring 3 – 30 capsules in a single episode, is enjoyably provided in a 30-60cc / 1-2 oz. flavored formulation/beverage.
Vital Technologies’ innovative NT2 technology platform offers Pharma companies the ability to deliver food-grade micro-encapsulation of any natural active, and provides a powerful combination of the following disruptive technological properties:
- Consumer-recognized impact, typically within 15 – 30 minutes from consumption
- Pharma-class properties in food-grade GRAS micro-encapsulated powder: controlled/ sustained release, improved solubility and improved bioavailability
- Complete foul-taste isolation for all ingredient categories: water-soluble, organic-soluble and oil-soluble
