The Micelle

Micelles are spherical microparticles composed of amphiphilic molecules (with hydrophilic head and lipophilic tail). Micelles in aqueous solution sequester in their center the hydrophobic tail regions and other lipophilic compounds. In the human body, formation of micelles is essential for the absorption of lipids. Vitamin E TPGS has amphiphile properties and forms micelles.

Vitamin E TPGS (d-alpha tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate) has become a powerful tool in the formulation of lipophilic and poorly soluble compounds and in enhancing their absorption and bioavailability. TPGS has unique properties and a proven record of safety and efficacy in pharmaceutical, nutrition, food and beverage, personal care and animal nutrition products.
