Algalithe P®
Patented probiotic stabilization technology
AlgalitheP® is the breakthrough excipient that’s changing how manufacturers approach probiotic formulations. This innovative stabilizing agent doesn’t just protect and stabilise probiotics – it maximizes their effectiveness while dramatically reducing production overage, improving manufacturing with a smart excipient innovation.
2 ingredients for 1 synergy
AlgalitheP® is specially composed as an overdried mix of two ingredients:
- Lithothamnion: A calcified red algae renowned for its natural antacid properties.
- Pregelatinized corn starch: A well-established excipient commonly used in probiotic formulations.
2 key principles for optimal probiotic formulations
AlgalitheP® increases the stability of probiotic and allows a significant reduction of probiotic contents overage. Its effectiveness is based on :
- Gastroresistant properties that help maintain cellular integrity and ensure probiotic viability all the way to their intended site of action.
- Low water activity (Aw), which maximizes the survival of strains throughout the shelf life of the finished product.
The science behind the savings
AlgalitheP®‘s unique properties create a synergistic effect that amplifies probiotic effectiveness. By optimizing the cellular environment and enhancing bioavailability, manufacturers can achieve superior results with significantly fewer probiotic organisms – a win-win for quality and cost management.
- Probiotic survival rates increased by up to 2 – 4 times during digestion.
- Ensures long-term viability of probiotics for a more effective finished product.
AlgalitheP® is a game-changer
Superior probiotic stabilization
AlgalitheP® creates an optimal protective environment for probiotic cultures, ensuring they remain viable and active throughout shelf life of the final product. This advanced stabilization technology extends shelf life and maintains potency where other excipients fall short.
Reduce probiotic overage up to 50% by :
- Lowering raw material costs
- Reduceding production complexity
- Maintaining product stability and efficacy
- Enhancing profit margins
Cost-effective alternative
Compared to traditional probiotic excipients, AlgalitheP® delivers exceptional value by significantly reducing the total overage of probiotics. The savings achieved make it more economical than standard manufacturing excipients.
The science behind AlgalitheP®: a two-phase delivery system
1. Protection phase
When AlgalitheP® is taken, it creates a protective gel-like barrier in the stomach. This innovative barrier shields probiotic strains from harsh acidic conditions that would normally destroy them before they reach their target destination.
2. Release phase
Once the protected probiotics reach the intestines where pH levels are neutral, the barrier naturally dissolves. This ensures maximum effectiveness by delivering probiotics exactly where the body needs them most.
This breakthrough technology maximizes the survival and effectiveness of beneficial bacteria, giving more value from every dose while supporting optimal digestive and immune health.
AlgalitheP® has been developed and is particularly suitable for capsules. AlgalitheP® is not recommended for stick or sachet.
