Cydexa – for dry eye relief
Today’s cyclodextrin is about cyclodextrins and nutraceuticals, a specific application in particular: Cydexa – for dry eye relief
The following is claimed for the product:
“the Entrocoat Cyclodextrin Autoencapsulation Technology significantly enhances the effectiveness of Cydexa. This innovative technology encases Cydexa probiotics in a protective cyclodextrin coat, ensuring their survival through the digestive system and maintaining their potency until they reach the small and large intestines. Once released by Entrocoat, the Cydexa probiotics are further enhanced by the cyclodextrin core, which acts as a prebiotic, thereby enhancing their effectiveness for optimal gut health and aiding dry eye relief.”
We have not tested this product yet, and while the above is possible with CDs, it is certainly challenging.
1. CDs usually cannot protect products in the digestive system on their own.
2. The release from the CD cavity is rather difficult to control or extend
We will do some testing soon and share what we find.
In any case, the product does look super sexy 🙂
