In-Active Ingredients
Microcrystalline Cellulose – Synthetically derived
fiber base (similar to plant-derived). It is typically
utilized as a filler in a tablet (to provide volume
and bulk).
Dicalcium Phosphate – Derived from a mined ore. It is
typically utilized as a binder in a tablet (to hold
all the ingredients during compression).
Colloidal Silicon Dioxide – Derived from a mined ore.
It is typically utilized as a natural desiccant in a
tablet (to provide barrier from moisture and
humidity).
Sodium Starch Glycolate – Synthetically derived starch
molecule (similar to potato starch). It is typically
utilized as a disintegrating agent in a tablet (to aid
in proper disintegration of the tablet in the
stomach).
Magnesium Stearate – Derived from a vegetable source
(typically palm oil). It is typically utilized as a
lubricating agent in a tablet (to aid in proper
compression of the tablet).
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose - Derived from a plant
cellulose base (typically cotton blend and or wood
pulp). It is typically utilized as a granulating agent
in a tablet (to provide bulk and density to the tablet
for proper compression) as well as part of a clear
coating solution (with PEG).
Stearic Acid – Derived from a vegetable source
(typically palm oil). It is typically utilized as a
binder in a tablet (to hold all the ingredients during
compression).
Carnauba Wax – Derived from the pores of the leaves of
the Brazilian wax palm tree. It is utilized in the
final stage in tablet coating (to provide a complete
seal).
Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) – Synthetically derived. It
is utilized with Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose as part
of the clear coating solution.
Lactose Monohydrate* - Present in traceable amount as
part of Thyroid USP (diluent). |
