PhytoSolve®
(Phospholipid-based Delivery System)

ALC’s proprietary PhytoSolve® technology can deliver up to 10x more active nutritional ingredients than ordinary carriers. That’s a tremendous competitive advantage in nutritional, organic and other health-related markets.

The PhytoSolve® delivery system capitalizes on the natural emulsification properties of phosphatidylcholine (PC). The system delivers lipophilic active ingredients such as fat-soluble vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids (i.e., docosahexaeonic acid), coenzyme Q10, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and lutein into soft gel capsules and liquid formulations.

In microbiological challenge tests, PhytoSolve® proved self-preserving. All ingredients used in the technology are GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, non-GMO, vegan, and without synthetic surfactants or preservatives.

The PhytoSolve® technology* has been shown to increase the bioavailability of lipophilic active ingredients as nutritional supplements. In a study of 24 volunteers, the bioavailability of Coenzyme Q10 and Vitamin E increased when consumed in a PhytoSolve® delivery system vs. a hard gelatin capsule containing the pure material used as a reference standard.
