Vpro®

Revolutionary 5-layer micro-encapsulation technology for enhanced probiotic stability.

Revolutionary 5-Layer Micro-Encapsulation

Vpro® technology represents a paradigm shift in probiotic delivery systems. Our innovative 5-layer micro-encapsulation process creates a protective barrier that shields beneficial bacteria from harsh environmental conditions, ensuring maximum viability and therapeutic efficacy when they reach their target destination in the intestinal tract.

Advanced Protection Technology

The Vpro® encapsulation system utilizes multiple protective layers, each designed to address specific challenges in probiotic delivery. This sophisticated approach ensures that beneficial bacteria survive stomach acid, bile salts, and other harsh conditions encountered during transit through the digestive system.

  • Multi-layer protective barrier
  • Acid resistance technology
  • Bile salt protection
  • Controlled release mechanism

Enhanced Stability & Efficacy

Vpro® multi-layer coating technology significantly extends the shelf life of probiotic products while maintaining potency and viability.

Layer 1: Micromolecular Layer

Composed of vitamin C, amino acids, and other protective agents, this layer enhances freeze-dried cell resistance and physically fortifies probiotic survival.

Layer 2: Prebiotic Nutrition Layer

Made with oligofructose and resistant dextrin to promote rapid growth of probiotics by delivering essential prebiotic nutrition.

Layer 3: Enteric Molecular Layer

Formulated using liposomes and porous starch to enable strong colon adhesion and efficient fermentation support in the gut.

Layer 4: Acid & Enzymatic Resistant Layer

Includes sodium alginate to protect against gastric acid and enzymatic degradation for targeted delivery to the intestines.

Layer 5: Oxygen & Water-Resistant Layer

Utilizes polysaccharides to isolate oxygen and moisture, preventing premature bacterial metabolism and maintaining viability.
