Pellet technology

Sustained-release micropellets

Why choose sustained-release micropellets?

  • Protect active ingredients: the coating shields components that oxidize or degrade, by limiting gastric acid damage and contact with air and light.
  • Sustained release: the page uses PEA as an example. When that analgesic is made into sustained-release microtablets, the page says it can provide up to 8 hours of pain relief, which can mean 1–2 fewer daily doses and a lower total dose.
  • Handling: the pellets are described as smooth and rounded, uniform in size, able to be colored with natural pigments, and free-flowing for capsule filling. The coating can include flavors such as vanilla or chocolate to mask odor.
