The possibility of the enhancing the bioavailability, increasing the shelf life, and improving the organoleptic properties of finished pharmaceuticals using microencapsulation is reviewed. Predetermined properties, including gradual supply of the active ingredient into the blood pool, can be highly reliably provided.

Notes
Actilease® microcapsules contain very fine particles of the active ingredients (lutein and zeaxanthin) in a special protective water-soluble shell. The protective sell is dissolved in vivo. The microcapsules of active ingredient are readily released, leading to maximum absorption of lutein and zeaxanthin. The microcapsules protect lutein and zeaxanthin from oxygen, metal ions, radicals, and residual destructive factors, which allows the micronutrients to remain useful for the whole shelf life.
