Our MICROPEARLS ® spray freezing technique, uses very low temperatures
(-60°C), which can embed the ingredients in a matrix and shape both matrix and ingredients into a hard microgranule.

The matrix used in this process consists of specific vegetable polymers. The protection of organic or inorganic acids, amino acids, vitamins and others is achieved by using this process.

The spray freezing process allows a sustained release of microgranules contents and matrix throughout the intestine. Microgranules can reach even as far as the hind gut.

The release of ingredients begins in the stomach by passive diffusion and continues in the intestinal chyme thanks to pancreatic enzyme.

The microcapsule particle size is between 500 and 2000 microns. Examples of products in this range are ACIPROL, AciXol, COL 24 and METHIOPLUS.
