Problem

The traditional diet does not usually contain the correct amount of vitamins, proteins and omega 3 and 6. Microalgae like Spirulina are considered dietary supplements and superfoods as they contain proteins, vitamins (B12, C and K), minerals, β-carotene and fibers. Their integration inside the traditional diet has shown to improve cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, cognitive, and immunological health; relieve arthritis pain, and energy boost. Despite the several advantages, these compounds do not have a good uptake and they are, often, subjected to degradation.

Solution

By encapsulating the algae extracts into a biodegradable polymeric shell, we ensure the maintenance of antioxidant properties, the protection of the vitamins against degradation and a targeted release in the intestinal tract, favoring the supplements absorption.

Readiness

This formulated technology is covered by a patent (TRL 9).
