To maximize absorption and effectiveness
Thanks to ongoing research, Sferalp has developed self-emulsifying formulation techniques that allow oils with natural extracts to mix with water and form micellar solutions.
This significantly improves the absorption of extracts that are typically
Sundalp is an innovative product that acts as a base for creating oils with lipophilic extracts and can also be used for dispersions of oils with hydrophilic extracts.
Developed over years of scientific research, the Sundalp preparation method is a patented process registered in Italy.
Multilayer lipid dispersion in contact with water or gastric juices
Every living cell is enclosed by a membrane consisting mainly of phospholipids.
Phospholipids arrange themselves in a double layer by orienting the polar heads outside (water) and the hydrophobic tails inside the membrane. They are present in a multitude of foods, but most notably in eggs, soy lecithin, sunflower lecithin, milk and other dairy products.
Sundalp® is an auxiliary preparation that facilitates the digestion of a substance, extract, salt, or vitamin, particularly suitable for fat-soluble substances. It is composed of sunflower lecithin and triglycerides of vegetable origin.
The main characteristic of the mixture is that it forms a multilayered lipid dispersion upon contact with water or gastric juices.
Sundalp lipid dispersion has the following basic characteristics:
Sundalp oil in capsules:
this presentation is suitable for the administration of substances/extracts that are liposoluble.
When the Sundalp®/extract mixture encounters the gastric juices, the lipophilic substances remain incorporated into the lipid layers of the dispersion or they remain micro-encapsulated.
This dispersion is thus ready to be well digested. Examples of this presentation are black cumin oil (Nigella sativa), Indian frankincense extract (Boswellia serrata), and whole turmeric extract (Curcuma longa)
Sundalp powder in capsules:
this presentation is suitable for the administration of water-soluble substances/extracts. Similar to the above description, the water-soluble substances will go between the various lipid layers and again this can be referred to as a micro-encapsulated product.
Formulation techniques with self-emulsifying properties
Technology that provides a powdered product that can be sold in hard capsules or in sachets to be dissolved in water.
Formulation technique used to obtain an oil-based product suitable for filling soft and hard gelatin capsules.
