Absorption is everything when maximizing the impact of nutritional supplements. You can have the most potent active ingredient in the world, but it’s of little value if your body can’t absorb it efficiently. AquaCelle® changes that. Developed by Pharmako Biotechnologies, AquaCelle® is an innovative self-emulsifying delivery system that boosts the bioavailability of lipophilic (fat-soluble) ingredients, transforming suitable formulations into great ones.
What Is AquaCelle®?
AquaCelle® is a clinically validated delivery technology that enhances the solubility and absorption of fat-soluble nutrients by forming a stable microemulsion in the digestive tract. Upon ingestion, AquaCelle® interacts with stomach fluids to spontaneously create ultra-fine oil droplets, boosting dispersion and mimicking the natural absorption process of dietary fats.
This microemulsion format increases the surface area available for digestion and absorption, leading to superior uptake and consistent plasma levels of active compounds.
What Ingredients Work Best with AquaCelle®?
AquaCelle® is ideal for ingredients with poor water solubility, such as:
- Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA)
- Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinol and Ubiquinone)
- Curcumin
- Vitamin D3
- Vitamin K2
- Squalene
- Phytosterols
- Cannabinoids (CBD, CBG)
AquaCelle® vs. Standard Delivery Forms
|
Feature |
AquaCelle® |
Standard Delivery |
| Absorption | 3–6x greater on average | Poor for lipophilic nutrients |
| Emulsification | Self-emulsifies in stomach | Requires digestion by bile acids |
| Consistency | Rapid and uniform absorption | Unpredictable uptake |
| Tolerability | Easy on the stomach | Can cause GI discomfort |
| Formulation Flexibility | Compatible with softgels, liquids, sachets | Mostly limited to oil-based formats |
Why AquaCelle® Makes a Difference
- Clinically Validated Absorption: AquaCelle® CoQ10 and Omega-3 have shown up to 6x greater absorption in human studies than standard oils.
- Smaller Doses, Bigger Benefits: Thanks to its efficiency, AquaCelle® allows for lower dosages without compromising efficacy—ideal for consumers who want fewer pills or smaller capsules.
- Clean Label Ready: AquaCelle® is free from PEGs, synthetic solvents, and nanomaterials. It’s a natural, self-emulsifying delivery system that meets clean-label expectations.
- Versatile Across Formats: From softgel capsules to liquids, sachets, and functional foods, AquaCelle® supports modern supplement formats for today’s health-conscious consumer.
Who Should Consider AquaCelle®?
- Formulators who need to maximize the bioavailability of fat-soluble nutrients in clean-label formats.
- Health brands looking to differentiate their products with clinically backed absorption technology.
- Consumers want fast, effective supplements without high-dose requirements.
