Particle
Sizing with Vitarich Laboratories
An absolutely vital
step in the making of any pill or chewable
supplement, particle sizing ensures the
quality and integrity of a product. In
most supplements, there are multiple ingredients,
and these raw materials are often of different
sizes and shapes. Particle sizing is simply
a process in which the particles of different
materials are ground down to one size.
The reason for particle sizing is to create
a congruent blend in the final product.
If the ingredients do not undergo particle
sizing, the final product will not be
homogenous. If materials are blended
without being sized, then when they are
put into a bin prior to processing, the
smaller particles will filter to the bottom,
while the larger ones stay on top, creating
a non-homogenous mixture. When this mixture
is processed or encapsulated,
the capsules will be filled with different
percentages of each material, resulting
in a product that is not what the label
says it is and is potentially dangerous.
Particle
sizing avoids this destruction of integrity
by assuring that once the raw materials
are mixed, they stay as a congruent blend
and the mixture does not lose its uniformity.
