In addition to the studies on vaccines, the scientific research has, in recent months affected by the pandemic, also focused on a preventive perspective on the importance of the integration of some vitamins.
In particular, vitamin C and vitamin D, have been widely studied in strengthening the immune system and decrease the chances of complications from Sars Cov-2, better known as Coronavirus.
According to recent research published on Jama Open Network, there is a correlation between vitamin D levels and the probability of contracting the infection: specifically, subjects with levels ranging from 30 to 40ng / ml showed a risk of 2.64 times greater compared to people with levels above 40ng / ml.
Prof. Meltzer, from UChicago Medicine, concluded by saying that the meta-analysis demonstrates how adequate supplementation of vitamin D can reduce the risk of acute respiratory tract infections.
Similarly, additional studies have focused on another important vitamin, C, also known as Ascorbic Acid: according to Dr. Andrew Webber, severe deficiencies have been found in patients with acute respiratory syndrome, and the data have shown that a high-dose supplementation contributed significantly to the improvement of the condition of hospitalized patients.
IPS – International Products and Services, and in particular the Suractives® division, is the starting point for the production of active ingredients in the MATRIS® form, a patented IPS technology, thanks to which the active ingredients are processed into microparticles. These last, are then coated individually by one or more layers made by polymeric membranes, giving controlled release properties and taste masking where required.
Depending on the type of membrane used and the processing of the particles, it is possible to perfectly mask the taste and smell of unpleasant ingredients, as well as establishing controlled release conditions to promote the absorption along the entire gastro-enteric tract.
Furthermore, the MATRIS® Technology, thanks to the particular characteristics of granulometry and morphology of the product obtained, allows the active ingredients to spread evenly over the entire surface of the gastrointestinal tract, guarantees its uniform distribution over the entire surface, with consequent optimal absorption of active ingredients.
The high titer of the active ingredient, the prolonged release after 6-8 hours, and the perfect coverage of unpleasant flavors are the unique value proposition of the MATRIS® production process, developed thanks to the IPS’ R&D efforts.
Suractives® offers a wide range of products, including Vitamin C, also available in combination with iron, copper, and folic acid, all with masking of taste and odor and with a controlled release up to 8 hours after intake.
IPS is always at the side of food supplement best players to develop and create new exclusive products in MATRIS® form.
It is possible to make the product in high-dose tablets and capsules, single-dose sachets (both water and buccal-dispersible), and single-dose bottles with a measuring cup.
