Essential phospholipids (EPL) are a combination of unsaturated fatty acid phospholipids from natural sources like soybean or sunflower. Phospholipids contribute to the regulation of biological pathways, including cellular communication and synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Their clinical benefits are backed up by thorough research and published studies.
Lipid profile modifying abilities; Prevents platelet aggregation; Increases patient’s physical working capacity
A superior protectant against liver damage; Against alcoholic & non alcoholic fatty liver; Against other liver toxins
Key donor of choline; For age-related cognitive decline and illnesses; Important during pregnancy & infancy
Phospholipids aid in formulation development:
Liposomal delivery system is considered as a modern delivery system to improve the bioavailability of conventional nutrients such as phytoextracts, vitamins and minerals. It is biocompatible, safe and increases the cellular uptake of bioactives by getting absorbed directly in the mucous membranes. This higher absorption, leads to greater efficacy with smaller doses, making it a less invasive option to achieve better results.
The infusion of lipid emulsions allows a high energy supply, facilitates the prevention of high glucose infusion rates and is indispensable for the supply with essential fatty acids. Egg phospholipids are used to emulsify 10-30% oil-in-water emulsions for parenteral nutrition. The major components of lipid emulsions are essential omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid, DHA, EPA) and omega-6 fatty acids (linoleic acid, arachidonic acid).
A pregnant woman needs special nutrients for the baby’s optimum growth. These essential nutrients include essential fatty acids and choline, both are crucial for a baby’s normal well being and neuronal development. VAV offers a range of ingredients that impact expecting mothers and babies’ health positively. Know more.
Egg lipids not only mimic the human milk fatty acid composition, they also come naturally with choline (from the phospholipid phosphatidylcholine). They contain cholesterol, vitamin B7 (biotin) and carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin) – all fundamental nutrients in the early development of babies. Studies also found that they protect the mucosa of intestinal tract against the adhesion of pathogenic bacteria, reducing the risk of severe diarrhoea. Phospholipids derived from egg yolk have been determined to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use as an ingredient in term and preterm infant formula
Lipids play a crucial role in geriatric nutrition, contributing to the well-being of seniors in various ways. These essential compounds are integral components of cell membranes, supporting cellular structure and function. In the aging process, maintaining optimal cell health becomes increasingly vital, and phospholipids aid in preserving cell integrity. By incorporating phospholipids and lecithins into geriatric nutrition, we aim to enhance nutrient absorption, promote brain health, and support overall cellular vitality. Our high-quality products are designed to address the specific nutritional needs of seniors, contributing to their overall health and well-being.
Active people require greater amounts and higher quality of protein than sedentary people. Regular physical training tends to reduce muscle protein breakdown and protein loss from the body. Proteins help for building muscle and improving muscle recovery after intense workouts.
The protein profile of egg yolk makes it an excellent source of nutrients for the human body with better amino acid score than whey protein & egg white protein.
