Assists Dietary Supplement Manufacturers In Meeting New FDA Regulations
March 4, 2009
CHESTER, N.Y. Dietary supplement manufacturers can ensure their products
deliver nutrients in the amounts claimed on their labels by using Maxx
Performance microencapsulation. Microencapsulation protects nutrients
from degradation, so that the amount initially added to a product formula
remains intact through processing to the end product. Overdosing with
nutrients is no longer necessary to get the required amount in a product.
”Some manufacturers put as much as five times the necessary amount of a
nutrient in order to get the amount they want in the product,“ says Maxx
Performance CEO, Winston Samuels. “Microencapsulation eliminates this hit
or miss approach to nutrient delivery.”
The recent ruling from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration establishing
regulations to require current good manufacturing practices for dietary
supplements makes it more important than ever to deliver precise amounts
of nutrients in dietary supplements. The rule is meant to reassure consumers
about the quality of dietary supplements, so that they can be confident that
the products contain what is on the label. “The final rule will help ensure
that dietary supplements are manufactured with controls that result in a
consistent product with accurate labeling,” said Robert Brackett, Ph.D.,
director of FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, in an
agency release.
The technology platform used by Maxx Performance is a robust one allowing for
the delivery of a consistent product without over- or under-dosing with each
and every delivery. Maxx Performance microencapsulation not only gives dietary
supplement makers the ability to deliver exact amounts of nutrients, but it also
keeps nutrients-like Arginine, Carnosine and Carnitine that tend to absorb
moisture-free-flowing.
