SUSTAINED RELEASE BEADS AND SUSPENSIONS INCLUDING THE SAME FOR SUSTAINED DELIVERY OF ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

摘要

Sustained-released beads providing active ingredients over an extended period of time to an individual orally ingesting the sustained release beads. The sustained-release beads can be part of a suspension wherein the sustained-release beads are suspended and evenly dispersed in the suspension. Binding agents are used to form the structural framework of the sustained released beads and retain the active ingredients without chemical or electrical bonding. The components of the dispersion medium are GRAS designated, making the suspension suitable for use as a food product.
