Nutri Pharmaceuticals Research

Nutri Pharmaceuticals Research, Inc. (NPRI) is a biotechnology company specializing in advanced delivery systems for the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries. The company developed proprietary microencapsulation technologies, most notably Nutri-Sphere and Oz-Guard, which improve the stability and bioavailability of sensitive active ingredients. These technologies are particularly effective for Omega-3 fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins, allowing for the creation of stable, powder-based formulations from oils. By providing superior taste-masking and protection against oxidation, NPRI's platforms enable the development of high-quality dietary supplements and functional foods. In December 2011, the company was acquired by Neptune Technologies & Bioressources, which is now known as Neptune Wellness Solutions.
