Food Supplement Tablet Binders for Direct Compression

Regarding your question about Ludipress, we did not find this specific product name in our food ingredient database. Therefore, it may not be commonly used or approved for registration as a food supplement excipient in Thailand under this name.

However, there are several other suitable dry binders available for direct compression tableting in food supplement formulations. These ingredients help the powder mixture compress into a stable tablet without needing wet granulation. Some common options include:

• Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC): Available in different grades like PH101 and PH102, MCC is a widely used binder and filler for direct compression due to its excellent compressibility and flow properties.
• Pregelatinized Maize Starch: This modified starch acts as a binder, disintegrant, and filler, and is well-suited for direct compression formulations.
• Lactose: Refined lactose is another traditional tablet binder and filler that can be used in direct compression.
• Direct Compression Tablet Base: This is a convenient pre-mixed base containing ingredients like Microcrystalline Cellulose and Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, specifically designed for direct compression without further processing.

When selecting a binder, consider the properties of your active ingredient, desired tablet hardness, disintegration time, and regulatory requirements for food supplements.
