Dextrose Monohydrate may be precisely what you’re looking for. Its wide selection of purposes helps make it a favourable ingredient to consumers, one they won’t run away from. A closer look at Dextrose monohydrate may well present the perfect sweetener for your product.
Dextrose Monohydrate is odourless, an excellent binder, water-soluble, pure to the naked eye, a white, crystalline powder, soluble in water
In a tablet, Dextrose monohydrate will work as a sweetener. Dextrose monohydrate is a constituent of glycogen, starch and cellulose. It is just like common sugar. The dextrose you receive will be in a powder form. At room temperature, it will remain in crystalline form. It will dissolve in water and is slightly soluble in ethanol.
Dextrose monohydrate provides the body with water and sugar. It supplies four calories per gram and contains 9% water by weight. It is often used by people suffering from low blood sugar, fever or dizziness. In a tablet, this ingredient can supply energy to a user. It isn’t used in medicines and the food industry. Dextrose monohydrate is a ‘reducing sugar’ and is used in many foodstuffs. The elements that affect food are also applicable to a tablet. Dextrose monohydrate can improve the quality of your tablet and provides a pleasant taste. It is economically priced and safe for consumption on a regular basis.
Magnesium stearate is a fine white powder. Its main purpose is providing a lubricant for capsules and tablets. It increases flowability, which ensures efficiency through the manufacturing process.
Magnesium stearate is one of the most popular flowing agents in the industry. It is popular due to how effective it is as a dry lubricant. It is inert and can make your formulation process much easier.
Magnesium stearate is a magnesium salt that also has stearic acid. Stearic acid is an 18 carbon long saturated fat that is often found in food. Stearates represent a natural part of every single kind of fat from animal to vegetable. It is a common fatty acid that can be found in fish, grains, eggs, butter, poultry, meat and dairy products. In meat, it is one-third of the saturated fat. This is important for consumer familiarity. It also portrays the safety of this ingredient. It is not something that is new to the human body. It adds an element of safety to your product.
Lubricants are crucial in tabletting. This is why magnesium stearate is so commonly used. The purpose of a lubricant is to improve specific processing benefits. There are three important roles of a lubricant.
Lactose Powder is a product familiar to consumers. It has a wide variety of uses. It will enhance the flavour, texture and colour of your tablet and is generally unreactive.
Pharma grade lactose powder is often used in tablets and has low levels of impurity. It is a carbohydrate which means it is a disaccharide. This means it is in the class of sugars which contain two monosaccharide residues. It makes up around 2-8% of milk as determined by weight. It’s a soluble product with a low level of sweetness. Lactose powder is clear and colourless and inert. It can improve safety elements of a drug and makes the manufacturing process smoother.
Lactose is a simple carbohydrate found in milk. Another name for it is “milk sugar.” It is a reducing sugar which means it reacts with amino acids at high temperatures. This may determine the final flavour. When lactose powder is used in a tablet, it would be through the direct compression method. Spray-dried lactose and anhydrous are both able to form a solid tablet under compression. Pharma grade is a fine powder but it may work in conjunction with other lactose powders. Smaller mesh sizes make mixing easier and more efficient and coarser grades improve flow. Lactose powder can also be mixed with sucrose to create sugar coating mixtures.
What exactly is the ideal excipient? The one which helps make ingestion easier for customers and manufacturing simpler for producers. Not just an excipient which is permissible to use, but one that stretches beyond standard functionality.
Microcrystalline cellulose may be the exact binding agent you are searching for. It won’t gel like methyl-cellulose and if compared to other binding agents it appears to provide the optimal degree of brittleness whilst staying lubricant sensitive.
Dicalcium Phosphate is an ingredient in a range of different products. It’s used in the production of tablets and capsules as a “flowing agent”. Di-calcium Phosphate comes in different mesh sizes. The coarser grades supplied here flow well and have excellent compressibility.
Flowability is a crucial element of the manufacturing process. It ensures that your ingredients will run through machinery with ease. Additionally, it means that your final products will have consistent ingredients throughout. This ensures each tablet will be the same.
Compressibility is the ease at which a powder forms into a solid tablet. LFA’s Di-Calcium Phosphate is directly compressible. Using excipients like Di-calcium phosphate reduces the effort taken to create new formulas.
Silicon dioxide, also known as silica, is an excipient. It is multifunctional and will make the manufacturing process easier. Silicon dioxide is an inert ingredient. This means it won’t react with the other ingredients you are using or substances in the body. It makes both manufacturing and digestion easier. It has a high melting point and a higher boiling point and it is insoluble in water. There are natural grades and synthetic grades but each has identical chemical make-up. It’s often used because it increases flowability and stops caking on tooling.
Firmapress is a combination of high-quality excipients designed to take unnecessary research out of tabletting to save you time and money.
With Firmapress, you won’t have to measure and mix binders or flow agents and there are no ratios to calculate. We’ve put everything we’ve learned over the last 10 years into Firmapress so that you can produce pharmaceutical-grade tablets right away. You won’t have to have to worry about tablet consistency, flowing problems, binding issues or caking with Firmapress.
This could be the difference between passing clinical trials or building a repeat customer base from launch because your product has already harnessed 10 years of constant improvement from Firmapress. It could also mean saving yourself from unnecessary stress or time wasting if you’re making tablets at home and don’t know how to create an excipient formula.
With previously off-limits raw ingredients now available to you, you can generate your business a solid unique selling proposition or even a submarket that doesn’t yet exist for you to dominate. Perhaps you create a capsule that improves gut health and as a result, clears the effects of Eczema? Or a product that reduces the side effects of Parkinson’s? The sky really is the limit and at LFA, we have seen customers start and build businesses.
This could mean the difference between your business going through the motions of mediocracy being perhaps #3 or #4 in your market, to a star business that pioneers a market to lead. Firmaoil can help you get to #1 in your market by opening the door to new ingredients to experiment and create tablets or capsules with.
Firmafill is a combination of high-quality excipients designed to take unnecessary research out of capsuling to save you time and money.
With Firmafill, you won’t have to measure and mix fillers or flow agents and there are no ratios to calculate. We’ve put everything we’ve learned over the last 10 years into Firmafill so that you can produce pharmaceutical grade capsules right away. You won’t have to have to worry about capsule consistency, flowing issues or the reliability of your experiments.
