The Encaptimus™ range of shelf stable probiotics uses AnaBio’s bespoke microencapsulation technology to protect probiotics against loss of viability due to harsh environmental conditions and improve stability. This ensures sufficient numbers of probiotics arrive alive to the small intestine to colonise the gut wall and deliver the desired health benefits to the consumer.
The Encaptimus™ range of shelf stable probiotics uses AnaBio’s bespoke microencapsulation technology to protect probiotics against loss of viability due to harsh environmental conditions and improve stability.

Why choose EnCaptimus™?
The health benefits of consuming probiotics, eg Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria species, are well established, contributing to gut and immune health in particular.
However the beneficial effect of probiotics rely on live bacteria reaching and colonising the small intestine. As little as 0.1% of un-encapsulated probiotic bacteria may reach the intestine alive due to:
Cell death due to heat treatment in processing
Loss of viability during storage
Acidic conditions in the stomach
AnaBio’s microencapsulation technology significantly improves stability and protects these sensitive probiotics to ensure their safe arrival in the intestine delivering all the desired benefits of consuming friendly bacteria. This solution enables our customers to have live shelf stable probiotics in their products, for example, UHT beverages, functional gummies, snacks and supplements.
