Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that plays an important role in protecting cell membranes, reducing cellular oxidative
stress and anti-aging. Traditional vitamin E usually exists in liquid or soft capsule form, but in some application scenarios,
in order to better protect the stability of vitamin E and exert its antioxidant effect, it needs to be made into microcapsule form.
The microcapsule form has the following advantages:
Improved stability: Vitamin E is easily affected by factors such as light, oxygen, water and temperature, and is oxidized and
degraded. Microencapsulation can effectively wrap vitamin E in the capsule and isolate it from the external environment, thus
improving its stability.
Dose control: Microcapsules can pack a certain amount of vitamin E into them, forming a small spherical structure that allows
for accurate control of vitamin E intake each time you take it.
Increased bioavailability: Because vitamin E is fat-soluble, its solubility in water is small, and the absorption effect is not good
when taken directly. Microencapsulation can increase the surface area of vitamin E and improve its solubility and absorption
in the gut, thereby increasing its bioavailability.
Targeting action: Through the targeting action of microcapsules, vitamin E can be directed to specific tissues or organs to improve
its distribution and effect in the body.
Extend shelf life: Microencapsulation can protect vitamin E from the external environment and delay its oxidative degradation process,
thus extending the shelf life of the product.
