Pharmacy Grade Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) for Tablet

Microcrystalline Cellulose is a white, odorless, and tasteless crystalline powder made from natural cellulose through processes such as acid hydrolysis, with good fluidity, compressibility, and water - absorption, and is often used as a pharmaceutical excipient, food additive, etc. in the pharmaceutical, food, and other industries.

(1) Pharmaceutical field:It can be used as a diluent, binder and disintegrant, which helps the drug to form, improves the hardness and stability of the tablet, and can also promote the rapid disintegration of the tablet in the body, so that the active ingredients of the drug are released quickly.(2) Food field:It can give food the appropriate consistency and stability, prevent food from stratifying and precipitating. For example, when used in yogurt and ice cream, it can improve the taste and texture.It can increase the dietary fiber content in food, which is helpful to promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation.

(3) Cosmetics field:Added to products such as facial cleansers and scrubs, it can gently remove the aging cutin cells on the skin surface, making the skin smooth and delicate.It can adsorb oils and water in cosmetics, which helps to adjust the texture and stability of products. It can also adsorb the oil on the skin surface, playing an oil - control role.

(4) Other fields: It can be used as a thickener and rheology modifier to improve the construction performance and leveling property of coatings and prevent pigment precipitation.As a filler, it can improve the strength, hardness and heat resistance of plastics, and at the same time reduce the cost.

(1) Shaping function: In the pharmaceutical and food industries, it is often used as an excipient to help drugs or foods take on a specific shape and structure, giving them a good appearance and stability.

(2) Thickening and gelling function: It can increase the viscosity of liquid systems, give products an appropriate consistency, and can form gels under certain conditions, improving the texture and taste of products.

(3) Adsorption and carrier function: It can adsorb substances such as drugs, flavors, and pigments, and act as a carrier to evenly disperse these substances in the system, helping to improve the stability and bioavailability of substances.

(4) Disintegration function: In tablets, it can promote the rapid disintegration of tablets in the gastrointestinal tract, allowing the drug to be released quickly, improving the dissolution rate and bio - effectiveness of the drug.

(5) Dietary fiber function: As a type of dietary fiber, it has physiological functions such as increasing satiety, promoting intestinal peristalsis, and reducing cholesterol, which helps maintain human health.

(6) Improving processing performance: In the plastics, coatings, and other industries, it can improve the fluidity, formability, and demoulding properties during the processing process, improving production efficiency and product quality.
