Enteric Coating and Sustained Release

Eric Bakker discusses the differences between enteric coating and sustained release in supplements. Enteric coating allows capsules to dissolve at specific points in the digestive tract, usually the small bowel, to ensure targeted release. Sustained release tablets, on the other hand, are designed to release their contents slowly over time to maintain a constant concentration of active ingredients and minimize side effects. Examples of products using these technologies, such as CanXida, are provided to illustrate their practical applications.

What is the primary function of enteric coating?

• To enhance the taste of the capsule

• To open at a specific place in the digestive tract

• To release medication in the large intestine

• They dissolve faster in the stomach

What is one of the benefits of sustained release tablets?

• They taste better

• They are cheaper

• They are easier to swallow

Which product is mentioned as an example of sustained release?

What is a characteristic of enteric-coated capsules?

• They open at predetermined rates in the small bowel

• They dissolve in the mouth

• They are absorbed in the large intestine

• They are used for immediate release

Which product is associated with enteric coating in the video?

• CanXida remove

• Multivitamins

• CanXida restore

What is the main difference between enteric coating and sustained release?

• Enteric coating releases medication in the stomach, while sustained release does not

• Enteric coating is for immediate release, while sustained release is not

• Enteric coating targets the small bowel, while sustained release maintains a constant release rate

• Enteric coating is more expensive than sustained release
