Crystalobiotic
Crystalobiotic is a term used to describe a conceptual class of therapeutic agents that combines crystalline materials with living microorganisms or bioactive compounds to enable stability and controlled delivery. The concept sits at the intersection of microbiology, materials science, and pharmaceutical technology, and as such is discussed primarily in theoretical or speculative contexts rather than as an established medical modality.
In the imagined framework, crystalline carriers act as protective and delivering matrices. Microorganisms may be encapsulated
Composition and production methods are varied in theoretical discussions. Possible materials include calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate,
Research status and regulatory outlook remain uncertain. Crystalobiotics are not recognized as an approved medical technology
Applications discussed in theory include microbiome therapies, targeted delivery of probiotics or enzymes, and stabilization of
