Improved Absorption of Deksel Nanoparticles
• Deksel doesn't depend upon lipid digestion process for its absorption.
• Deksel shows rapid gastric emptying thereby increasing rate of absorption
• Deksel Nanoparticles are unaffected by varying GIT pH conditions (Stomach:1-3,
Deodenum:4-5, Intestine: 6 - 6.8)
• Deksel Nanoparticles absorption is unaffected by fed-fast variation hence predictable oral
bioavailability.
• Because of small size and surface charge Deksel Nano particles rapidly accumulate in mucus
layer and from there enter unstirred water layer due to hydrophilic surface.
• Deksel Nanoparticle as such are transported across enterocytic membrane via several
mechanisms thereby enhancing the absorption.

Advantages of DEKSEL
 Nano-entrapment of D3 in Deksel :
• Improves stability of Vitamin D3.
• Rapid absorption and enhanced oral bioavailability
• Minimal fed-fast and inter-individual variations
• Ensures absorption even in disorders in which lipid digestion is
compromised (liver & pancreatic disorders)
 Nitrogen Purging Technology – prevents oxidation / degradation
