Product Highlights

Building a VitaSperse® Ingredient

• All VitaSperse ingredients start with reverse osmosis water. Only food grade ingredients are used to create VitaSperse formulations. Lecithins and non-ionic surfactants are the main building blocks of the VitaSperse microemulsion.
• Then, a preservative system is added, depending upon use and preference. VitaSperse encapsulates nutritional actives, providing a unique layer of protection. Then, the VitaSperse formulation undergoes a proprietary process that results in a uniform dispersion of actives encapsulated by lipids. This dispersion allows oil-soluble ingredients to stay suspended in water indefinitely.

Main Benefits

VitaSperse® is a unique microemulsion technology that gets water-insoluble ingredients dispersed into water-based liquid applications. VitaSperse stays dispersed within the liquid application of your choice, helps extend shelf life of sensitive ingredients, and may help improve bioavailability of select ingredients.

• Dispersion Easily gets oil-based ingredients into water-based formulas
• Absorption May help improve the absorption of nutritional ingredients
• Stability Can help extend shelf life of active ingredients
• Controlled Release of active ingredients (topical applications)
