Vivion Vitamin C DC Powder - 5 kg - Ascorbic Acid & HPMC Direct Compression Excipient

How Direct Compression Works

Direct compression is a method for making tablets where dry powders are pressed directly without wet granulation. For this to work, the powder must flow well, compress easily, and bind together. Vivion Vitamin C DC Powder is designed to meet all three requirements. The addition of HPMC as a binder means the powder forms a solid tablet without extra steps, saving time and cutting costs. It also reduces the risk of ingredient damage that can happen during wet granulation.

What Is Vitamin C DC Powder?

Vitamin C DC (Direct Compression) Powder is a specialist blend of ascorbic acid and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) made for tablet production. Unlike standard ascorbic acid powder, this formulation contains a 3% HPMC binder that acts as a water-soluble binding agent, making it ideal for chewable, dissolvable, or effervescent tablets. This ready-to-undertake direct compression excipient simplifies the formulation process, allowing manufacturers to create custom nutraceutical, vitamin, mineral, and mint products with ease.
