Alginate drug delivery utilizes the exceptional properties of seaweed to achieve exceptional results in various pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Seaweed-derived alginates exhibit notable characteristics, including their ability to increase the viscosity of solutions and form a three-dimensional gel when exposed to calcium ions. These distinctive functionalities find practical application in a diverse array of fields, such as controlled release dosage forms, enteric coatings, microencapsulation, and stabilization of solutions and suspensions.

​

Moreover, alginates play an active role in certain anti-reflux products, further showcasing their versatility. When sourced from IFF (International Flavors & Fragrances), alginates prove to be an outstanding choice for ensuring consistent performance across a wide range of applications, from anti-reflux remedies to biomedical implants. Benefiting from decades of experience in managing these naturally derived materials, IFF guarantees reliability and consistent performance, making alginates an invaluable solution for various industries.
