time:  15.00 CET (Europe time)

overview:

Manufacturing dietary supplements poses many challenges related to tablet quality. Such challenges include cracking, chipping, breakage, crumbling, compressibility. The optimization of formulations can significantly improve performance and cost efficiency while reducing production issues. A key functional ingredient in any tablet formulation is a properly functioning binder. A product issue may indicate that a particular nutraceutical product was formulated with the most effective binder. 

Ashland’s nutraceutical portfolio is uniquely suited to overcome the formulation challenges of dietary supplements, including working with ingredients that are difficult to compress, trying to reduce tablet size, and creating supplements that meet an organic standard. This webinar will review ways to overcome these challenges.
 

key objectives:

  • how to successfully work with tablet ingredients that are difficult to compress 
  • how to effectively reduce the size of your tablets while simultaneously improve their mechanical properties
  • how to select nutraceutical excipients to produce organic versions without sacrificing quality
