Cinnamon, extracted from the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum plant, is an ingredient known for its beneficial properties, particularly in treating flu symptoms, coughs, and colds. It has been highlighted how cinnamon-based supplements can positively influence the digestive system and aid in quicker appetite recovery.

A study has also demonstrated that cinnamon essential oil, containing cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, and linalool, possesses antifungal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties, as well as showing beneficial effects in blood sugar control and insulin release [1].

A hurdle often encountered in the production of cinnamon-based supplements is their sensitivity to chemical degradation agents. IPS, a supplier of microencapsulated raw material, has overcome this issue through the production of cinnamon-based microcapsules. IPS employs the technique of coacervation microencapsulation, an innovative process ideal for preserving the therapeutic properties of cinnamon oil, ensuring a slow release of the active ingredient.

As a supplier of microencapsulated raw material, IPS aims to introduce a product characterized by impeccable performance into the market. IPS microcapsules indeed possess sizes ranging from 100 to 600 μm and an oil content of up to 85%, the ideal combination for a cutting-edge dietary supplement.

Further enhancing the versatility of IPS microcapsules is their density, measuring 0.61 g/ml. This feature is essential in obtaining a wide variety of formulations such as:

• Hard capsules
• Orodispersible single-dose sachets
• Single-dose vials with a dosing cap

Choosing IPS as a supplier of microencapsulated raw material means relying on a company that ensures quality, innovation, and effectiveness. With IPS microcapsules, supplement manufacturers can offer products that combine the beneficial properties of cinnamon with an advanced formulation, ready to meet the needs of an increasingly health-conscious market.
