Our Delivery Systems

Soluble Fibre based Suspension System

Gels, syrups or suspensions are widely used delivery systems for a range of medicaments and nutraceuticals. The formulation of these pose a number of challenges including dispersing hydrophobic ingredients, maintaining stability and providing for acceptable organoleptic properties. Typically, formulations use a range of surfactant and stabilisers and also tend to have sugars or sweeteners added for flavour enhancement.

We have developed a proprietary suspension system for the delivery of medicines and nutraceuticals without the need for traditional surfactant and stabiliser ingredients. Our system not only has excellent suspendability but also is well preserved.

Since the system is based on soluble fibres that are naturally sweet the need for extra sweeteners is minimised or in some instances avoided altogether. The system is also naturally high in prebiotic fibre therefore providing additional nutritional benefits not associated with traditional suspension systems.

Importantly, given the ability of the system to effectively wet and disperse hydrophobic ingredients this is manufactured via a one step mixing process. There is no requirement for complex heating and mixing systems so our manufacturing process is much simpler and more cost effective.

The system is an ideal delivery vehicle for medicines for children or medicines that require liquid suspension delivery. It is ideally suited for difficult to suspend or poor tasting ingredients such as ibuprofen and paracetamol.
