Product: Antares Vitamin E TPGS
TPGS is a powerful tool in the formulation of poorly-soluble, lipophilic compounds enhancing absorption and bioavailability.
TPGS Applications and Uses
Also known as tocophersolan, it is proven effective for use in a wide range of products where the body’s ability to absorb the ingredients is of the utmost importance. For example, it can be found in dietary supplements, personal care products, pharmaceuticals and more. It is registered with the Chemical Abstracts Service under CAS 9002-96-4. Read on to learn more about how it is used across multiple industries.
Pharmaceuticals
Antares Vitamin E TPGS solubilizes, emulsifies, and enhances absorption of difficult to absorb lipophilic APIs in a wide range of dosage forms.
Dietary Supplements
TPGS is an emulsifier, and an absorption enhancer for fat-soluble nutrients in liquid and solid dietary supplement dosages.
Beverages & Food
TPGS is used to stabilize flavoring oils and is an approved source of natural vitamin E to fortify foods, beverages, sports drinks, juices, and water.
Personal Care
TPGS works as an emulsifier/co-emulsifier for lipophilic actives while simultaneously providing a water-soluble source of natural vitamin E.
Animal Nutrition
TPGS provides highly-absorbable, bioavailable, water-soluble, natural vitamin E in animal feeds and supplements.
CBD & Botanical Oils
TPGS increases the bioavailability of botanical oils, improving the effectiveness of CBD, tinctures and edibles.
How Antares Vitamin E TPGS Works
The Micelle
As an amphiphile, vitamin E TPGS emulsifies lipids and helps solubilize poorly soluble compounds. In addition, it forms micelle-like particles which increase absorption and bioavailability.
Micelles in aqueous solution sequester in their center hydrophobic tail regions and other lipophilic compounds. In the human body, formation of micelles is essential for the absorption of lipids.
