Aker BioMarine focused on enhanced bioavailability 

PL+ by Aker BioMarine is a technology platform utilizing the potential of phospholipids from krill oil (PL’s) as a unique delivery platform. As the company explained, phospholipids are both water and fat soluble, so they act as an emulsifier. They can create micelles for a maximum surface area for improved absorption of low-solubility and low-permeable substances. Combining PL’s with other ingredients that have lower bioavailability and absorption rates into the body (such as curcumin, CoQ10, CBD, lutein and certain omega fatty acid sources), this new option can boost and enhance the uptake of certain ingredients up to 25 times. And that, Aker explained, makes it possible to bring new cost-effective supplements to market.

Probi highlighted iron absorption

Probi was discussing the benefits of FerroSorb, which is a clinically proven probiotic iron-absorption concept that supports long-term iron status. The concept is based on Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 299v (LP299V), combined with a balanced dose of iron. The company explains that, unlike iron-only supplements, Probi FerroSorb increases uptake, reducing the quantity of iron needed. In terms of formulation opportunities, it is ideal for capsules, tablets, stick-packs, and functional foods such as beverages and powder products.

Similarly, the group that supplemented with the capsanthin, experienced significantly increased tear break-up time and volume and decreased corneal inflammation. The data confirmed it has the capacity as a strong antioxidant and its ability to help inhibit the expression of particular inflammatory cytokines was shown to create balance.

TriNutra discussed benefits of ThmyoQuin for athletes
