The Challenge
In order for drugs to work, three factors must be carefully balanced:
Patients must take their drugs as prescribed.
ADHERENCE
SAFETY
EFFICACY
Too much drug in the body can cause serious side effects.
Enough drug must get into the body to be effective.

The Problem:Oral drug delivery is inefficient

With drug loss at each step, higher doses of oral drugs are often needed to achieve the therapeutic benefit.
This especially impacts poorly soluble drugs that are otherwise permeable to cells.
30% of drugs on the market and 70% or drugs in the pipeline fall into this category.*

The Problem:Oral drug administration is challenging
Patients suffer when drugs work too slowly or lack sufficient efficacy.
Lack of efficacy combined with side effects often deter patients from taking their medication as prescribed.

CUREform™The Right Formulation
Encapsulation can:
● Protect molecules from degradation during the manufacturing process and throughout shelf life
● Protect molecules from degradation in the body (e.g. stomach acids)
● Increase palatability through improved taste masking
● Increase a drug’s bioavailability and optimize its release kinetics through:○ Increased solubility in water and therefore bodily fluids○ Enhanced permeability and retention in target tissue
We are developing several novel methods for encapsulating active ingredients for improved oral drug delivery.

CUREpodsTM
The Right Dosage FormProprietary pod technology encapsulates core ingredients in various ways, turning liquids and other ingredients into free powders that are simple to process, easy to dose and cost-effective to use.
CROSS-LINKED MATRIX
● Cross-linked polymers provide a strong layer of protection to actives from heat, moisture and air.
● Can enclose a variety of actives (proteins, vitamins, minerals, probiotics, amino acids, herbs, enzymes, etc.)
● Multiple actives can be incorporated into one dosage form.
● Protects nutrients during transit through the body.
● Allows targeting of specific release profiles.
CORE-SHELL
● Particle size of 250 to 1500 microns
● Provides stability of the active and taste improvement.
● Provides a barrier between two or more incompatible substances, protecting actives from humidity and moisture.
● Designed to control the release of the active ingredients.
