Bottom line is this: Supplement ingredients are only as good as how well they’re absorbed.
With that fact in mind, our MicroActive® ingredients (such as CoQ10) are micronized and encapsulated to uniformly improve absorption and provide sustained-release and our Sucrosomial® Minerals (such as Magnesium) were developed to enhance mineral absorption through a unique technology that allows for better absorption and improved bioavailability.
The MicroActive® Line: Gradual, Sustained Release
The MicroActive formulation is tailored to each active ingredient to optimize its bioavailability and sustained release capabilities.
For example, MicroActive® CoQ10 is a complex of two B-cyclodextrin molecules and a CoQ10 molecule. One side of the molecule is fat-soluble and holds the CoQ10, while the other side is water-soluble and makes for efficient transport through the digestive system.
A study of MicroActive Curcumin saw the ingredient uptake peaked at 4 hours followed by sustained release till 12 hours. Plasma levels remained high at 12 hours, indicating additional sustained release beyond that point.
- Superior sustained release
- Improved bioavailability
- Uniform absorption
- Delivery format flexibility
- Micronization process compatible with any active ingredient

Sucrosomial Minerals:
Improved Absorption and Bioavailability
Sucrosomial® minerals enhance mineral absorption through a unique technology in which a mineral is conveyed into a liposomal-like structure made up of a phospholipid and a sucrose ester of fatty acids (sucresters), called a sucrosome.
The sucresters act as emulsifiers, surrounding the liposomal-like structure that encapsulates the microelement, in this way increasing its absorption and bioavailability. Because the mineral is encapsulated, its absorption is not impacted by the presence of other nutrients.*
Several laboratory and animal tests have shown that the sucrose esters of fatty acids utilized in Sucrosomial technology are effective vehicles for improving solubility, dissolution, absorption, bioavailability, and palatability.
Sucrosomial Magnesium has 20% higher bioavailability than magnesium citrate.
