Vitamin C + Iron DUAL MATRIS® RETARD by IPS: Innovations and Benefits

Introduction

The combination of vitamin C and iron is widely used in the dietary supplement industry for its potential to enhance the immune system and hemoglobin production. However, these nutrients face significant challenges related to their stability and bioavailability, which can limit their effectiveness.

Properties and Challenges

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is essential for tissue growth and repair, collagen synthesis, and immune system support. It is known for its sour taste and lability, which refers to its tendency to degrade in the presence of light, heat, or oxygen.

Iron is crucial for hemoglobin production but has bioavailability issues. Often, high doses are required, which are not fully absorbable, and can cause side effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances.

Interactions and Complexity

A significant issue involves the interactions between vitamin C and iron. Vitamin C can enhance the absorption of non-heme iron, but acidity and chemical stability can negatively impact the overall formulation of the supplement, making an effective formulation strategy critical.

IPS Innovation: Vitamin C + Iron DUAL MATRIS® RETARD

To address these challenges, IPS developed Vitamin C + Iron DUAL MATRIS® RETARD, utilizing DUAL MATRIS® technology, which is based on the principles of MATRIS® technology to preserve the unique characteristics of multiple active ingredients in a single formulation. This product uses a prolonged release system that extends the absorption of the actives over 6-8 hours, optimizing their bioavailability and minimizing common side effects.

According to recent studies conducted by IPS on 3D organoid systems, MATRIS® products demonstrate superior absorption compared to raw ingredients and reduce inflammation at the gastric and intestinal levels, enhancing the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity of the actives.

Applications and Formulations

The DUAL MATRIS® technology allows for the creation of various dosage forms, such as tablets, sachets, stick packs, capsules, and bottles with dosing caps, ideal for a variety of consumption needs. Additionally, for all direct compression applications, IPS also provides SmarTTabs® formulations, which preserve the original release profile of the bulk product, ensuring the integrity and effectiveness of the active ingredient.

Conclusion

The combination of Vitamin C and Iron DUAL MATRIS® RETARD by IPS represents a significant advancement in the field of dietary supplements. Through the use of innovative technologies, IPS effectively meets the needs of the modern consumer, offering stable, effective, and easily assimilable solutions. This product not only addresses the issues of bioavailability and stability but also enhances the overall consumer experience through flavor masking and controlled release of actives.
