Tagra removes the limits for supplement formulation.
The actives meant to nourish are the ones least likely to survive the journey. Fat-soluble vitamins oxidize on the shelf, herbal compounds volatilize, proteins denature, and probiotics are inactivated long before they reach the gut. Tagra’s microencapsulation platform protects each payload at the source and releases it precisely where it works.
Microencapsulation Applications
Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) oxidize easily
Mineral bioavailability limited by pH and nutrient interactions
Protective encapsulation needed for shelf stability
BioCaps™ microencapsulation protects fat-soluble vitamins from oxidation
pH-responsive release optimizes mineral absorption
Multi-nutrient formulations with controlled, sequential release — no interactions
Extracts degrade during storage and digestion
Volatile compounds lost; efficacy compromised by pH, moisture, oxidation
Bitter taste limits consumer formats
Encapsulation preserves volatile compounds and bioactive constituents
Dual-layer protection shields from light, moisture and oxygen
Flavor masking improves perceived taste
Susceptible to denaturation
Absorption limited by GI pH and enzymatic breakdown
Difficult to achieve consistent potency
Encapsulation protects proteins and amino acids from denaturation
pH-triggered release in the small intestine optimizes absorption
Supports muscle health and recovery applications
Inactivated by stomach acid and bile
Require protection to reach target GI sites
Low survival rates reduce efficacy
Acid-resistant BioCaps™ coating protects organisms through
the stomach
Release-on-Demand™ delivers viable organisms to the colon
Maintains CFU potency and improves gut-health outcomes
Ambient stability
Targeted bioavailability
pH- and enzyme-triggered release frees actives precisely where they are absorbed.
Palatability & compliance
Multi-active formulation
25+ years of microencapsulation expertise, 20+ granted patents, full in-house R&D and manufacturing — from feasibility study to commercial supply for materials science partners, under one roof.
