The raw materials, manufacturing process, and product do not contain any of solvents listed in Organic Volatile Impurities (USP<467>) & residual solvents (Ph – Eur<5.4>).
- It is an inactive ingredient that binds the active ingredient in a pill or capsule
- The FDA classifies magnesium Stearate as a glidant, or granulating agent.
- Magnesium Stearate functions in medicine by preventing the different molecules used to make up the medicine from clumping together, thus ensuring that the correct dose is achieved in every pill made.
- It is added to supplements to increase production speed as the machines fill the supplement capsules.
- As an excipient, magnesium Stearate helps to prolong the shelf life of pharmaceuticals and masks the taste and odour of active ingredients.
- Used as a lubricant in Tableting & Pharmaceuticals
- Used in Paints and varnishes, as a flattening agent
- Stabilizer & Lubricant in Engineering Plastics
- As a stabilizer and lubricant for plastics
- Soothing agent in Talcum Powder & Cosmetics
- Emulsifying agent in cosmetics,
- An anti-caking agent in foods

Micro Crystalline Cellulose
Microcrystalline cellulose is a term for refined wood pulp and is used as a texturizer, an anti-caking agent, a fat substitute, an emulsifier, an extender, and a bulking agent in food production. The most common form is used in vitamin supplements or tablets. It is also used in plaque assays for counting viruses, as an alternative to carboxymethylcellulose.
More...Cross Carmellose Sodium
Croscarmellose sodium is an internally cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose for use as a superdisintegrant in pharmaceutical formulations. E468 is the E number of crosslinked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, used in food as an emulsifier.
More...Magnesium Stearate
Magnesium stearate, also called octadecanoic acid, magnesium salt, is a white substance, powder which becomes solid at room temperature.
More...Cellulose Powder
White or almost white, odourless, tasteless, Practically insoluble in water, dilute acid and most of organic solvents, Slightly soluble in dilute NaOH solution
