EUDRAGUARD® protect is a highly robust and versatile polymer designed for immediate release formulations. It offers reliable taste and odor masking to ensure the product appeals to customers and protects ingredients from moisture, which could impact ingredient effectiveness.

The coatings give a smooth and even finish, improving visual appeal and making the finished product easier to swallow. They also enhance storage stability.

Moreover, EUDRAGUARD® protect is quick and simple to apply with standard equipment at low temperatures, helping preserve the integrity of heat-sensitive ingredients.

EUDRAGUARD® protect ReadyMix is a ready-to-use powder that contains all the ingredients needed to form effective protective coatings for nutraceuticals. The spray suspension is formed by simply adding water to the ReadyMix while stirring. Hence, it is a one-component system and ready-to-use mixture of the polymer plus excipients that can be augmented with pigments for a colored coating for customer convience. It can be applied to solid oral dosage forms such as tablets, capsules and multiparticules. And because it is based on EUDRAGUARD® protect, the mix meets the regulatory requirements for use in dietary supplements in the European Union (E 1205) and the United States (GRAS).

EUDRAGUARD® protect ReadyMix is also available in TiO2-free white & colored. 

EUDRAGUARD® biotic is a functional coating that enables targeted delivery of ingredients to the colonic region. It can also help protect sensitive ingredients from gastric and bile acid.

Dietary supplements containing probiotics and prebiotics are rapidly gaining in popularity. However, some of their ingredients lose effectiveness if exposed to gastric acids and similar fluids. Many pro- and prebiotics are most effective when released near the colon region. As a result, formulators face the challenge of protecting their ingredients from gastric acid while ensuring targeted, reliable release.

EUDRAGUARD® biotic is a highly flexible polymer system that safeguards dietary supplement ingredients from gastric acid and supports release in the colon region. This safe delivery technology also has reproducible release profiles, and provides a smooth and even finish – enhancing visual appeal while making the final product easier to swallow. These water-based coatings are suitable for tablets, granules, and soft- and hard-shell capsules. They are quick and easy to apply, enabling high throughput. And because EUDRAGUARD® biotic can be applied and processed at low temperatures, sensitive ingredients remain fully intact.
