Fennel essential oil, Foeniculum vulgare, is rich in active components such as anethole. These compounds contribute to its beneficial digestive, carminative, and anti-inflammatory effects, making it an ideal ingredient to support digestive health and improve overall quality of life. 

However, traditional fennel oil supplements face limitations that reduce the effectiveness of these benefits for the consumer. Examples include the oil's volatility and its potential degradation during digestion. 

The microencapsulated raw materials developed by IPS break through these barriers, creating endless formulation possibilities for consumers. Fennel microcapsules, created through the microencapsulation by coacervationprocess, are surrounded by a protective membrane. This allows for prolonged and targeted release in the gastrointestinal tract, while simultaneously protecting the active substance from oxidation and other degenerative processes. 

Thanks to a controlled size range between 100 and 600 µm, the microcapsules behave like free-flowing powders, making them easy to mix and dose in production processes. 

In summary, IPS fennel microcapsules offer: 

• Prolonged release of the active ingredient directly in the intestine for long-lasting and targeted action 
• High concentrations of active substance (up to 80-90% oil) for more effective therapeutic effects 
• Resistance to degenerative processes mainly caused by oxidation and oil volatility 
• Formulationversatility, adapting to various consumer needs

Choosing an experienced raw material supplier who can guarantee stable, effective, and innovative products results in not only an improvement in the quality offered to consumers but also an increase in profits and credibility for the business.
