Module 2 - Encapsulsation Overview
Aside from aiding in pill manufacture, encapsulation (Module 2) allows the safe passage of polypetides through the stomach into the intestine. The encapsulation process involves the production of a physical barrier, acid resistance proteins and the preservative trehalose. Without encapsulation, our polypeptides would be denatured and degraded by stomach acid and digestive proteases respectively.
About proteolysis.
Our solution represents a fusion between probiotic treatment & polypeptide encapsulation
