The Encaptimus™ range of 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.
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, improving overall 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.
Why choose EnCaptimus™?
The health benefits of consuming probiotics, eg Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria species, are well established, contributing to gut and heart health , immunity and reduced allergenicity.
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:
Loss of viability during storage
Cell death due to heat treatment in processing
Acidic conditions in the stomach
AnaBio’s microencapsulation technology 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 gives our customers the right probiotics solutions so their consumers can get all the health benefits associated with consuming friendly bacteria.

What Effect Does Caffeine Have in the Body?
Caffeine is metabolized in the liver and has a half life of 3.5-5 hours (there is a large individual variation in how quickly we break down caffeine). This means that after 5 hours, half the original amount of caffeine consumed remains in the blood.
Structurally caffeine is very similar to adenosine, a compound that is very biologically active in the human body, meaning that caffeine can reach all cells and systems and interact in various ways, including energy production, hormone release, mobilization of fatty acids, dilation of blood vessels. Caffeine can also alter fuel use in some people, breaking down adipose tissue and mobilizing fatty acids to be burnt as energy.
How does caffeine help sports performance?
The primary way in which caffeine influences sports performance is through its effect on the central nervous system (CNS) due to the ability of caffeine to cross the blood-brain barrier. Stimulation of the CNS leads to increased alertness, wakefulness and awareness as well as enhanced mood.
Can caffeine help reduce sorenesss and pain?
Caffeine can also have a pain reducing effect, with the brain interpreting feedback from the muscles as less painful in relation to the workload.
What is the problem with Caffeine?
Tastes Bitter
Strong flavour masking needed
Consistent effects can be problematic
Gastrointestinal stress
Jitters and body disorientation
Adverse sensory affects on various products
