StabiliPro™
Excipients for Probiotic Formulations
For Stability, Viability, and Delivery
Excipients are essential to the success of probiotic formulations. These non-active ingredients are designed to protect live microorganisms from environmental stress, extend shelf life, and enable controlled release, making them an important component of high-quality probiotic products.
StabiliPro™ excipients are engineered to support probiotic viability through low water activity environments, synergistic health benefits, and clean-label formulation options.
Supporting Consumers and Manufacturers
As today’s consumers take a more proactive approach to wellness, many are using probiotics preventively to maintain general health and resilience. Despite this growing demand, manufacturers looking to innovate in this space still face significant formulation challenges – from regulatory hurdles and shelf-life stability to the need for further research to expand understanding on the overall benefits of probiotics.
The viability of probiotics is one of the most significant challenges, as these microorganisms are particularly sensitive to harsh processing and high-moisture environments. To address this issue, excipients can play a vital role in maintaining a probiotic’s integrity over its shelf life.
Optimize Products with StabiliPro™
Many manufacturers currently use more probiotics than needed in their formulations to counter the amount that is lost through deterioration during the product development process.
StabiliPro™ excipients help brands gain a competitive edge in the probiotic space. Our proprietary technology preserves the integrity of the probiotic environment and consequentially results in an improved the shelf life.
We developed our new clean-label multifunctional excipient portfolio to enhance probiotic stability in a range of formulations, extending shelf life by ensuring maintenance of probiotic stability and reducing the need for probiotic overages.
Key Features of StabiliPro™ Excipients
Instantization is a process that makes the physical characteristics of powdered substances more suitable for various applications.
Agglomeration
The instantization process significantly limits airborne particles by forming larger, heavier granules. This leads to a cleaner production environment and helps prevent material loss and potential contamination.

Low Water Activity (LWA)
Probiotics lose viability when exposed to environments with water activity above 0.100aw. LWA formulations help preserve stability by reducing moisture exposure, minimizing the need for excessive dosing of active ingredients, and maintaining probiotic potency throughout shelf life.
Support Wellness Needs
Our formulations can be designed to meet a range of wellness needs. Deliver the full benefits of probiotics for digestive and immune support.
