A “new generation” of liposomes<br />
Although liposomes are on the rise, the<br />
products on the market often present<br />
problems of stability, traceability<br />
and organoleptic quality. Drawing on<br />
their expertise in microencapsulation,<br />
Capsularis has developed a unique<br />
liposomal process that places quality<br />
and naturality at the heart of the manufacturing<br />
process, in order offer to their<br />
customers premium liposomes 100 %<br />
Made in France.<br />
Capsularis offers vitamin C liposomes under<br />
the L-VITAL C ® brand. Is it just an additional<br />
offer from a company that made the vectorization<br />
of active ingredients its specialty?<br />
Not exactly: the technology used provides<br />
surprising solutions on the organoleptic level<br />
which renew the application of liposomes.<br />
Natural health supplements contain many<br />
active ingredients, such as vitamins, trace<br />
elements, antioxidants, etc. Digestion can<br />
degrade these active ingredients, or they can be poorly absorbed by<br />
the body. Their effectiveness can therefore be reduced. In order to<br />
improve the assimilation of vitamin C, Capsularis offers you its innovation,<br />
a microencapsulated vitamin C, in liposomal form: L-VITAL C ® .<br />
“When we started to develop a drinkable solution incorporating<br />
our liposomes, we were pleasantly surprised by its very pleasant<br />
taste and its remarkable stability”, reveals Stéphane Lozachmeur,<br />
founder and manager of Capsularis. “This innovation in the field of<br />
liposomes will allow us to bring innovation to our customers”. Innovation<br />
is anchored in the DNA of the company founded in 2008 and<br />
which relies in particular on a microencapsulation process developed<br />
in-house. The company, which has nearly twenty people, has<br />
its own R&D department which is equipped with a pilot lab to validates<br />
the scale-up.<br />
To develop its liposomes, the Capsularis R&D team focused on technologies<br />
for producing lipid vectors used in the pharmaceutical<br />
industry. The company invested in a production unit, which makes it<br />
possible to produce liposomes smaller than 200 nm. Another advantage<br />
of this new production equipment: the technology makes it<br />
possible to produce at low temperatures, which contributes to the<br />
preservation of active ingredients.<br />
