Encapsuling life: probiotics beyond the digestive tract
The example of probiotics in skin diseases: In recent years, regulatory changes in the world of probiotics have allowed these to be one more option to include as an adjuvant treatment for some diseases beyond those that are limited to the digestive tract. Recently, several European countries have regularized the legislation to allow the incorporation of the term probiotic on their labeling and this has caused an increase in the market for these products. It is not unreasonable to think that the regulations will advance to authorize some of these probiotic products as health products, which would mean the definitive takeoff of these products with proven clinical efficacy in various diseases.
One of the challenges faced by companies dedicated to the treatment of probiotic products, and especially to their packaging, is the problem of the stability of the live probiotic.
Bearing in mind that the half-life of probiotics can be shorter than that of most drugs, product finishing companies must update their work protocols to ensure the ideal conditions to have an effective and viable finished product.
During the presentation, some examples of Derbos finished products will be discussed, supported by efficacy studies, among other reasons for their properties as well as for the stability given to the product using Derbos encapsulation and finishing technology, and which are used in the treatment of pathologies as diverse as urinary tract infections, neurological problems and skin pathology.

Essential Oils for intestinal microbiota modulation and chronic disease management
There are two key components for maintaining intestinal homeostasis (which means proper functioning) and these are the immune system and the intestinal microbiota. By intestinal dyshemostasis, in the absence of an infection with pathogens, we mean a condition that can arise over time due to a wrong diet and an incorrect lifestyle. Even drugs can contribute to the alteration of homeostasis, just as physiological aging contributes to worsening the conditions of the microbiota, of the immune system and therefore of the entire gastro-intestinal system. Although dysbiosis (alterations of the microbiota) and low-grade inflammation have been associated with these pathologies, this does not mean that they are the cause.
However, it is probable that over time this situation contributes in subjects predisposed to the triggering, chronicisation or exacerbation of pathological conditions including obesity and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Studies carried out so far on essential oils have demonstrated three main effects: Anti-inflammatory, Anti-oxidant and Anti-dysbiotic. Our research group focused on two single components of essential oils, geraniol and limonene.
Geraniol was tested on mice with sodium dextran sulfate induced colitis, showing a marked anti-inflammatory and antidysbiotic effect, in a pilot study and in a randomized double-blind placebo controlled study both on patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, In these studies, geraniol has been shown to be able to positively modulate the intestinal microbiota and to alleviate the symptoms associated with this pathology. The second component studied, limonene, was tested on mice with obesity induced by a high-fat diet. In this study, limonene was able to decrease fasting blood sugar, decrease triglyceridemia, counteract both hepatic steatosis and weight gain in treated mice thanks to a modulatory effect on the intestinal microbiota.

Three Reasons why to include Vitamin K2 in D3 supplements
D3 is well known as an essential vitamin for immunity and bone health. But did you know that to reach its full potential, D3 needs the company of vitamin K2? In the interaction between vitamins K2 and D3, calcium plays a major role. Whereas higher D3 levels increase the body’s ability to absorb calcium, K2 is needed to activate calcium binding proteins that direct calcium to the right places : into bones and out of soft muscle tissue. Discover the latest insights on D3 and K2 synergy and their joint effect on immune, heart and bone health.

Integrating Curcumin C3 Reduct in new product development
Sabinsa has developed C3 Reduct®, a curcuminoids-based ingredient that has been scientifically shown to boost organ health and deliver a range of other targeted functionalities. This makes it ideal to help manufacturers meet consumer health and wellness expectations – and tap new opportunities in growing markets such as sports nutrition. C3 Reduct® is the only reductive metabolites of curcuminoids on the market to have been approved as a Novel Food by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
Consumers are increasingly aware that impaired organ health, high stress levels and immune system problems are issues that can significantly impact their quality of life. Since the Covid19 pandemic, they are increasingly looking for natural, functional preventive solutions that can support their efforts to keep fit and healthy.
C3 Reduct® has been shown to deliver even more outstanding antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties than the parent curcuminoids. The key reason for this is that in C3 Reduct®, curcumin is converted to tetrahydrocurcumin (THC). This means that it is directly and easily assimilated in the body as an active metabolite. This is important, as THC has far better bioavailability than curcumin.
From a consumer point of view therefore, C3 Reduct® is an EFSA-approved product that delivers functionality, without the need for high dosages or added ingredients. The product also has self-affirmed GRAS (generally regarded as safe) status in the US.

Pisane, the new vegetable protein as alternative of dairy protein
Plant proteins are attracting rising interest due to their health benefits and environmental sustainability but little is known about the nutritional value of pea proteins when consumed by older people. In a recent study, the digestibility and nutritional efficiency of PISANE™ pea protein isolate is compared to casein and whey proteins in old rats. The results of this study showed that old rats used pea protein with the same efficiency as casein or whey proteins, due to its high digestibility and amino acid composition. Using this pea protein could help older people diversify their protein sources and more easily achieve nutritional intake recommendations.

Levagen+ for the treatment of neuroinflammation, neuropathic pain and adjuvant against SARS-CoV-2 infection
The inflammation of the nervous system is a complex process involving different types of cells involved in neuropathies such as lumbociatalgia, chronic pelvic pain (dysmenorrhea), trigeminal neuralgia (migraine) and carpal tunnel syndrome among others. Inflammatory mediators are released by mast cells and microglia, producing an amplifying effect of the pain signal. When this happens, our body releases PEA (palmitoylethanolamide), a neuromodulator that stimulates the production of endocannabinoids and has an “entourage” effect on different receptors that reduces inflammation and pain. In addition, more than 50 years ago, PEA demonstrated its effectiveness also in allergic reactions and for the treatment of human influenza.
Levagen+ is an ingredient that contains PEA in a lipid dispersion matrix (LipSperse®), which favors its dispersion in aqueous media and increases the bioavailability of PEA.
Levagen+ has demonstrated its efficacy in different clinical studies: joint pain and inflammation, headache vs ibuprofen, menstrual pain, sleep improvement, peripheral neuropathic pain caused by diabetes and other inflammatory processes currently under study. Recently, in May of this year, the efficacy of PEA (mPEA, Levagen+) has just been published, showing that it binds to the SARS-CoV-2 glycoprotein (Omicron and Delta variants), which causes COVID-19, reducing the viral infection by 70% and also preventing the transmission of new viruses when cells are infected.

VIVAPHARM® Alginates – versatile biopolymers for nutraceutical applications
JRS Pharma’s Portfolio of VIVAPHARM® Alginates consists of Sodium Alginate, Calcium Alginate and Alginic Acid. They are derived from brown algae and as natural based hydrocolloids, they have versatile functionalities. Sodium alginate is available in different grades that cover a big range of viscosities and particle sizes. The sodium alginate VIVAPHARM® Alginate PH R5 is used for anti-reflux applications. Together with a calcium source, it forms a gel-raft in an acidic environment. This mechanical barrier prevents the reflux of gastric acid into the esophagus.
Furthermore, sodium alginate acts as a diffusion barrier in extended release tablet formulations. At the interface of the release medium and the tablet core, the biopolymer forms a gel layer through which the active ingredient diffuses over an extended period. Both sodium alginate and calcium alginate are used in wound care products. They act as a swelling agent with a high water binding capacity keeping the wound moist. In addition, the calcium alginate’s hemostatic properties are beneficial for wound care applications.
The calcium alginate VIVAPHARM® Alginate PH 460 and VIVAPHARM® Alginic Acid PH 060 are used as natural disintegrants. Due to their fibrous structure, a wicking effect combined with swelling enables a fast tablet disintegration.”

C3 Reduct®-Reductive, Bioavailable Curcuminoid Metabolites
Curcuminoids are among the most useful nutritional ingredients for the maintenance of health. It is known that curcuminoids are metabolized extensively. But some of the major metabolites such as the glucuronides have been shown to be pharmacologically inactive since they are not good antioxidants or address inflammation or other health issues in contrast to their parent curcumin(oids) (Choudhury et al., 2015). On the contrary, the reductive metabolites of curcuminoids retain essentially all the useful health-promoting activities of curcuminoids. Sabinsa’s C3 Reduct® is composed of the most prominent reduced metabolites of curcuminoids, namely tetrahydrocurcuminoids (THCs). It is only EFSA approved Curcuminoids metabolite in European market.
