WHAT is Sun Active?
SunActive® is a patented and protected Nutrient Delivery System (NDS) consisting of micronized and micro-encapsulated nutrients. Sunactive is a series of water insoluble minerals, that normally have a very bad bioavalability. But in the SunActive-Form these mineral particles are so small (0,3 – 0,4 µm) that they can be absorbed by endocytosis (like a liposome) in the gut by the enterocytes. Due to the way of absorbtion by endocytosis like the liposomes, Taiyo created the name endosomal minerals.
Why are endosomal minerals different from other minerals?
Taiyo uses a very special technology to produce these very small mineral particles, without the production of nanoparticles at all and without falling under the EU NOVEL FOOD regulation.
Taiyo analyzed and tested all other available sources of the same insoluable mineral used for SunActive. Tests by an independent laboratory have shown that SunActive minerals have the lowest particle size of all analyzed minerals of the same kind (Eikelmann 3P Instruments, 2022). The very small particle size is the key factor for the kind of absorption and the high bioavailability of our SunActive minerals.
Why are insoluble minerals used?
The use of insoluble minerals in SunActive has many advantages:
- No competition with other ions for absorption by the DMT-1 (classical absorption pathway for mineral ions)
- No interaction with food components such as pythic acid, proteins or polyphenols
- No metallic (Zn, Fe) or soapy (Ca, Mg) taste
- Strong reduction of side effects such as diarrhea (Mg) or DNA oxidation and bleeding (Fe)
SUNACTIVE® FAT-SOLUBLE INGREDIENT PRODUCT (Q10)
Normally, the particles of fat-soluble ingredients like coenzyme Q10, lutein or astaxanthin do not dissolve and stay on the water surface. A dispersion of these particles is not possible and they mostly provide a bad bioavailability. Taiyo’s Super-Dispersion technology, micronizes the fat-soluble ingredients and gives them an emulsifier layer. This makes SunActive® fat-soluble ingredient products such as SunActive® Q-10E form excellent stable dispersions in water that are similar homogenous like fruit juice. SunActive® has been developed for use in all kinds of water based liquid products, but also for use as part of a bio-enhanced formula in dry applications or functional foods. Due to the ability of being dispersed in water and the small particle size, the bioavailability of the coenzyme Q10 in SunActive® Q-10E is increased by 320% compared to pure CoQ10 powder.
