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).
