What are cyclodextrins?
Cyclodextrins are ring-shaped sugar molecules made from starch. Each ring has a water-loving outer surface and a water-repelling inner cavity, and that cavity can capture another molecule to form a stable inclusion complex. That simple mechanism lets cyclodextrins improve the solubility, stability, and delivery of compounds that are otherwise difficult to formulate.
The smallest cavity, suited to small guest molecules.
The most widely used, a versatile, mid-sized cavity.
The largest cavity, fits bigger or bulkier guests.
Improve solubility
Carry poorly water-soluble actives into solution, improving dissolution and bioavailability.
Protect & stabilize
Shield sensitive ingredients from light, heat, and oxidation, and mask bitter taste or odor.
Control delivery
Turn volatile liquids into stable powders and release actives where and when they are needed.
