What Are Plant Enteric-coated Capsules?
Plant Enteric-coated Capsules are plant-based, acid-resistant capsules designed to slow down the release of active ingredients in acidic conditions. This delayed release protects sensitive ingredients from being damaged by stomach acid, ensuring more effective absorption in the digestive tract.

When released too early in the stomach, certain ingredients may cause unpleasant burping or nausea.
3. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
ATP — widely used in metabolic support supplements — is easily decomposed by phosphatase in gastric acid, losing its intended benefit.
