1. Emulsified Fat Soluble Nutrient and Botanical Extracts

After extensive literature searches and review, Biotics focused its research resources on developing an improved delivery method for oily nutrients such as vitamins A, D, E. The result was true oil-in-water emulsions of fat-soluble nutrients. While it was true that other emulsions were available in the market, they were poorly prepared resulting in little or no advantages in uptake over standard oily preparations. Biotics emulsions are distinguishable by direct examination under a microscope. The smaller and more uniform particle size in the Biotics emulsions are clearly visible under microscopic examination. Particle dispersal is accomplished by non-detergent means—this allows for increased safety without increasing gut permeability, as is often seen with micellized preparations. Our research on the subject was presented to the American Society for Clinical Nutrition and published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Our emulsified nutrients represent a more cost-effective means of delivering nutrients than micellized, dry, or oily preparations. Biotics Research also developed a drying process whereby the liquid emulsion can be added to tablets, capsules and powders in a dry form. This process increases stability and convenience, while still delivering increased uptake of fat-soluble nutrients. This was proven by a double-blind, placebo-controlled study that measured the blood uptake of coenzyme Q10 after ingestion of supplements containing powdered CoQ-10, or the emulsified form (as CoQ-Zyme Forte tablets) at a dose of 30 mg daily. The emulsified CoQ-10 tablets were shown to double blood levels, a feat not accomplished until 90 mg of powdered CoQ was ingested. Again, these results were presented in peer-reviewed scientific publications.
