Capros® is a
patented, clinically researched nutritional supplement ingredient developed
to provide significant and superior antioxidant benefits. Derived from a
highly purified and standardized extract of the unique antioxidant
superfruit Phyllanthus emblica, or Indian gooseberry, Capros® is not just
another amla, which is the popular name in India for this well-known and
highly revered Ayurvedic remedy. Capros® is the ultimate superfruit extract
obtained by a proprietary process.
Capros® has a
very high ORAC value, many times higher than other popular fruit extracts
such as pomegranate or acai. However, Natreon, Inc. scientists looked
extensively beyond ORAC with a broad panel of in vitro and in vivo assays
comparing Capros® to a variety of well known antioxidants to confirm its
singular potency.
Along with an
outstanding safety profile, Capros® is a cost-effective ingredient for
marketers wanting to launch novel new brands in the Super Fruit category
that can actually deliver on promises of superior antioxidant power. Capros®
is highly water soluble, will have little impact on flavor systems and has
excellent stability, ideal for functional foods and beverages.
Capros® also
shows great promise as a synergistic antioxidant ingredient in combination
with other fruit juices and extracts, as a means to increase potency and
provide even more powerful and long-lasting health benefits for wellness
seekers. Comprehensive studies offer evidence of the synergistic effects of
Capros® when added to other antioxidants. With its superior capacity to
improve beverage formulations, Capros® is set to become one of the most
sought after superfruit ingredients in the market and the next big star in
functional foods.
