Enhancing the oral bioavailability of natural astaxanthin using plant-based micro- and nano-encapsulation materials: Results of an In vitro evaluation and a cross-over study in humans

Abstract

We developed a potato protein-based delivery-system for lipophilic bioactives, using astaxanthin as a model. The oral bioavailability of astaxanthin in humans was approx. 5 times higher than that of astaxanthin oleoresin using this delivery system.
