◆ EncapsuleX® Algea-based Vitamin D3 Powder

Definition

EncapsuleX®Vitamin D3 (Algae-based) is a powdered product made by mixing vitamin D3 with a carrier and then converting the mixture into a solid powder form. Richtek describes this process as spray drying and microencapsulation manufacturing technology, which protects the active ingredient in vitamin D3 from moisture and oxygen.

Particularities of EncapsuleX®Vitamin D3 (Algea-based) powder:

Richtek's algae-based vitamin D3 is derived from microalgae, which are fast-growing microorganisms that can be cultivated on a large scale in a controlled environment. Derived microalgae products may be more suitable for formulation into food products due to the presence of other bioactive compounds. Richtek's R&D studies have shown that UVB-exposed microalgae have the potential to be a new, vegan, natural and sustainable source of vitamin D3.

■Technical characteristics

The microencapsulation technology encapsulates vitamin D3 into micron-sized particles that block oxygen, light and moisture to protect vitamin D3 from oxidative damage. The microencapsulation technology provides a sustained release of vitamin D3, allowing the vitamin D3 oil to reach the small intestine for release, digestion and absorption, reducing the discomfort caused by large amounts of vitamin D3 oil entering the stomach.
