As the demand for high-performance nutraceutical ingredients increases, achieving both bioavailability and formulation stability remains a key challenge, particularly in the case of silicon.
Silicium Laboratories has developed a differentiated solution by combining bioavailable silicon forms with acacia gum in a stabilized delivery system designed for consistent performance across applications.
Silicon is inherently unstable and poorly absorbed in many conventional forms, which limits its effectiveness in finished products.
LIVING SILICA® addresses this challenge through a stabilization and delivery approach that improves its functional performance.
Key features include:
In addition, the use of acacia gum as a carrier (during the microencapsulation process) contributes to maintaining ingredient integrity throughout shelf life and digestion.
Beyond its role as a carrier, acacia gum contributes functional value within the formulation matrix.
From a formulation perspective, it provides:
This dual role (carrier + functional ingredient) enhances the overall value proposition of the system.
The combination of bioavailable silicon and acacia gum creates a complementary system that supports both delivery and functional positioning.
For product developers, this translates into:
This synergy enables more comprehensive and differentiated product concepts.
The ingredient system is designed to align with current clean-label and regulatory expectations.
Key attributes include:
This supports product development strategies focused on transparency, safety, and consumer trust, while remaining compliant with applicable regulatory frameworks.
LIVING SILICA® Acacia Gum Powder is designed for flexibility in product development.
It can be incorporated into a wide range of applications, including:
This versatility enables brands to adapt formulations across multiple categories and formats, without compromising stability or performance.
