Nutritional Benefits
ABITEC manufactures functional ingredients that provide unique benefits to support everyday activity, recovery, and long-term health and wellness. Our ingredients can help add nutritional and functional value to your product portfolio.
Cognition
It is estimated that an aged brain uses 10-15% less glucose than a non-aged brain. This number increases to 25% in those with Alzheimer’s disease [1-4]. Studies have demonstrated that consumption of MCTs (such as CAPTEX®) can provide the ketones that an aging brain may use as alternate energy.
Energy
In the liver, MCTs are rapidly metabolized into ketones which are used by the brain, heart, and muscles as an alternate energy source. MCTs provide energy that may help you focus and feel more alert throughout the day.
Satiety
The quick metabolism of CAPTEX® MCTs into ketones provides an energy source for your body. Studies have shown that MCT oil supplementation may increase satiety and decrease food consumption during the following meal [1].
Bioavailability Enhancers
Low bioavailability is most common with oral dosage forms of poorly water-soluble, slowly absorbed nutrients. ABITEC's functional lipids aid in the solubilization of active ingredients.
Controlled Release
ABITEC ingredients can aid in the controlled release of your nutritional products and ensure that the right nutrients are getting to the right place at the right time.
Keto Friendly
ABITEC's nutritional & functional lipids offer a range of benefits for keto-friendly products. Our CAPTEX® medium-chain triglycerides come in both oil and powder forms so they can easily be incorporated into RTD beverages, energy shots, powdered beverages, bars, spreads & more!
