What is Microencapsulation?

Brief explanation of SCO2 Microencapsulation Technology in Probiotics

Microencapsulation is a process by which a product is  sealed into miniature, microcapsules that can  release their contents at controlled rates under influences of specified conditions.

Encapsulation is defined as a process  that entrap, envelope or cover a substance into another substance, producing particles in the nanometer (nanoencapsulation), micrometer (micro-encapsulation) or millimeter scale (Lakkis, 2007; Burgain et al., 2011).

The encapsulated substance is usually called  core material, active agent, filler agent, internal phase, or payload phase. A substance used to encapsulate is called  coating membrane,  shell, carrier or wall material, external phase or matrix. The wall material used in food products  e.g. Probiotics or processes should be food grade and must be able to form a barrier between the active agent and its surroundings (Zuidam and Nedovic, 2010).

Microencapsulation technology offers advantages as it  stabilizes the probiotics,  increases their survival during storage,  controls oxidative reactions, ensures sustained or controlled release at the GIT (gastro intestinal tract / digestive system) and above all  improves the shelf-life.

Microencapsulation has been considered a viable technology to overcome  Probiotics Challenges for a long time. However, it’s a fairly complex solution due to a host of factors.

  1. Most techniques used have led to  high stress and degradation of the live bacteria, resulting to low survival rate and reduced load.
  2. The use of various microencapsulation materials leads to  unstable and sometimes non-viable micro-capsules without any protection of the organism
  3. Formulations and innovations around gastric or enteric coating have resulted into  the coating not ‘opening’ or dissolving in the digestive system and thus  not releasing the probiotics at all.

Despite all these challenges with microencapsulation, it still offers the most viable way of reducing the loss of probiotic cell viability.

Do not purchase

No positive effects at all. A complete waste of money.

I'm seeing really really good results with the Gut Slim Probiotic SuperGreens

I'm seeing really really good results with the Gut Slim Probiotic SuperGreens.. It's been 4 weeks now. Very impressed. Sadly delivery took over a month. I'll probably order again.

Side note... Based on my research this product is the South African equivalent of the famous neurobiologist Dr Andrew Huberman's daily drink AG1 Greens. Again, seeing good results.

Awesome healing

I had bloating and constipation. Drinking these capsules within day 3 I saw a huge difference. No more bloating, I go to the toilet 2 times in a day now. I'm so happy, I purchased this product. The other probiotic brands did not work for me. I'm sticking to velobiotics forever. I can't wait to buy the 60 capsules. I'm truly grateful for this product to more healing of my gut. 🥂
