Tablets and capsules that hold together

An excipient is everything in a tablet or capsule that is not the active: the filler that gives it mass, the binder that holds it together, the disintegrant that lets it fall apart, the lubricant that gets it out of the press. We supply them in food-additive grades, with EP grades on request, so actives and excipients can come from one supplier.
