Many are familiar with rosemary only as an aromatic plant used in numerous recipes, but in recent years, another important use of rosemary has been highlighted—its benefits for our health. Various scientific studies have indeed demonstrated that rosemary possesses antispasmodic, cholagogic, and carminative properties, in addition to positive effects on lipid metabolism.

However, one of the challenges in using rosemary as an ingredient in food supplements and nutraceuticals is its poor bioavailability: the active principles of rosemary are not always effectively absorbed into the body. This is where IPS comes into play, a reliable supplier of microencapsulated raw materials for rosemary-based supplements.

IPS microcapsules contain rosemary essential oil and are specifically designed to protect the active principle from direct oxidizing agents. This revolutionary approach promotes the delivery of the active component directly to the point of maximum effectiveness in the gastrointestinal tract, ensuring a prolonged release of the active ingredient. Thanks to this technology, IPS microcapsules offer a widespread and uniform distribution of rosemary oil, thereby maximizing its therapeutic efficacy.

However, there are two other reasons why IPS proves to be one of the best suppliers of raw material for supplements. First of all, high concentrations: IPS microcapsules contain between 80% and 90% rosemary oil, along with 18-26% Alpha Pinene and 16-25% Cineole, the key active principles responsible for health benefits.

For supplement manufacturers looking to create a wide range of formulations, such as hard capsules, single-dose orodispersible sachets, and single-dose vials with a dosing cap, IPS once again proves to be the right choice. Keeping up with progress is one of IPS's pillars, a way to revolutionize a constantly growing industry for the well-being and health of everyone.
