Liquid and Food Formats. The blur between functional beverages and liquid supplements continues. AIDP, through a proprietary microencapsulation process, called enVantec™, can deliver stable and clear vitamin solutions.

enVantec™ makes microencapsulation better. If you’ve been stumped by product development challenges related to solubility, stability and bioavailability, enVantec’s patented microencapsulation process is the advantage you’ve been looking for. enVantec exhibits striking stability during tableting and encapsulation when compared to other leading brands.

enVantec offers a variety of pre-made applications for fat-soluble ingredients that were previously unsuitable for commercial applications because of stability limitations, including:
• enVantec Vitamin A Palmitate
• enVantec Vitamin A Acetate
• enVantec D3
• enVantec Beta Carotene

What’s New?
KoAct, for Better Bones was shown to increase bone mineral density of total body DXA scan after three months of intake in a Florida State University human study. The KoAct results were significantly better than a simple calcium supplement taken at the same time. It was also shown to increase bone strength in a Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology animal study. The KoAct results were significantly better than calcium or a simple mixture of calcium and collagen.

Magtein™ Think Clearly™. Magtein™ is a breakthrough super-mineral with strong evidence supporting cognitive functions and brain health. We know that magnesium helps with sleep, stress release and mood management. It plays an important role in many of the brain’s functions. The role of magnesium in memory and cognitive function has long been suggested, but not proven. Magtein™ has demonstrated promising results in animal studies to improve memory, recognition and learning by a group of scientists from MIT including a Nobel Prize laureate. Magtein™ is suitable for both the nutraceutical market and the food/beverage channel. It has a clean taste, is odorless, highly soluble and is safe. This patent-pending ingredient is self-affirmed GRAS, and available exclusively through AIDP.

Collagen Solutions. New food friendly collagen products have recently been made available exclusively to AIDP. Taste, texture and form can all be improved with these new collagen solutions.
