Vitalsorb, containing lysolecithin, forms a stable emulsion aiding fat digestion. The liver produces lysolecithin, but insufficiently. Vitalsorb assists fat digestion effectively.
Vitalsorb Pure’s Stability
In digestion of fats, it is important for the emulsifier to form a stable emulsion over 90 minutes. Vitalsorb is an emulsifier made of lysolecithin that is able to achieve this stability.
