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.
