Makes Probiotics and Nutraceuticals Better

With an unmatched collection of specialized process and technology patents combined with more than 25 years of experience in the industry, Nutraceutix contract manufactures the industry’s finest probiotics in a variety of forms—from bulk powder, to capsules and advanced tablets in bulk or fully finished bottles. The same processes and technologies allow the company to formulate superior, controlled-release nutraceuticals that offer distinct advantages to brand, retailer and consumer.

PrimeBiotix® Bulk Probiotic Powders
Nutraceutix has grown natural probiotic strains for well over two decades. It controls the entire process, from growing the organisms through the production of the final delivery forms, ensuring organism purity and viability at every step.

All Nutraceutix strains are naturally occurring and selected as appropriate and effective for human use. They are not genetically modified and have a long history of use in dietary supplements and food applications where they are generally recognized as safe (GRAS).

The company’s expert team grows and processes more than two dozen different cultures. They begin with ATCC deposited and verified starter cultures. These cultures are grown in highly optimized media, carefully crafted after many years of research. After fermentation, the probiotics proceed through separation, purification and drying, using processes chosen to avoid stresses that can weaken the organisms. Finished bulk powder is stored frozen and always shipped cold-packed to further ensure viability and product quality for subsequent manufacturing or distribution.

Patented LiveBac Processing for Extended Shelf Life Tablets and Caplets
Many probiotics found on store shelves fail to meet label claim and many of those have no viability at all by the time they are consumed. Over a decade of extensive research, development and testing of probiotic delivery forms has led to a number of exclusive patented processes that allow Nutraceutix to craft products with outstanding shelf-life performance, even at room temperature. Patented LiveBac® processing helps ensure that products can meet label claim at expiration dates—something that few, if any, other manufacturers can even hope to deliver. Independent third-party tests prove it.

Products manufactured using the LiveBac process give the brand, retailer and consumer the confidence that their probiotic products are the best they can be, even under difficult conditions.

Patented BIO-tract Probiotic Delivery System Delivers the Goods
It’s a fact. Unprotected, the vast majority of live probiotics entering the stomach won’t survive to reach optimal sites in the gastrointestinal tract. Powders, liquids, capsules, even cultured dairy products offer no real protection, losing most, if not all, of these sensitive organisms during passage through the stomach’s harsh environment. To overcome this obstacle, Nutraceutix has researched, developed and patented the BIO-tract® delivery technology that protects the majority of a supplement’s probiotics from gastric acid, while providing optimal release of live organisms throughout the digestive tract. Designed to be easy to formulate, handle, package, store and consume, BIO-tract eliminates the shortcomings of other probiotic delivery forms. All BIO-tract probiotic products are also manufactured using LiveBac processing for extended shelf life, giving these products a combination of advantages that other probiotic products on store shelves simply can not match.

Delivering a precise amount of an active ingredient at a predictable rate is the ideal. To reach this ideal, Nutraceutix researchers developed the BIO-tract controlled-release technology for nutritional supplements. Programmable by formulation, BIO-tract can release active ingredients over just a few hours to all day long. BIO-tract already enhances a wide variety of nutritional ingredients with a rapidly expanding list of novel formulations, ready for a brand to take full advantage of.

The BIO-tract delivery system provides a number of advantages:
• Accommodates a wide variety of active ingredients
• Simplifies and improves dose compliance
• Heightens active ingredient availability and potential efficacy
• Gives “commodity” products a new competitive edge

BIO-tract is effective for:
• Controlled, extended release
• Acid resistance (sensitive ingredient protection)
• Buffering (reduction of stomach upset)

Certified GMP Contract Manufacturing
All LiveBac and BIO-tract products are produced in the Nutraceutix NSF-certified GMP contract manufacturing facility, which has also received an “Excellent” rating by ASI Food Safety Consultants.
