Alpha-lipoic acid granules

Supports the granulation processing of alpha-lipoic acid. We propose material design tailored to applications such as tablets and capsules for supplements and health foods, using granulated raw materials.

Granulated α-lipoic acid is a raw material processed into granule form from α-lipoic acid (alpha-lipoic acid, thioctic acid). By utilizing granulation technology, we aim to improve the ease of handling and processing suitability in subsequent stages by converting powdered raw materials into granules. Granulation is a technology that processes raw materials such as powders into granules with a specific particle size through certain processes. Representative methods include wet granulation using binding liquids and dry granulation, which forms granules by compressing powders. The appropriate granulation method is selected based on the physical properties of the raw materials, the required particle size, and the dosage form and manufacturing process of the final product. Powdered raw materials can present handling difficulties in processes such as supply, mixing, filling, and compression due to particle size and physical properties. Adjusting particle morphology through granulation is an option to improve the flowability, handleability, and compatibility with subsequent processes of the powder. This product can be utilized when considering granulated raw materials for the development of supplements and health foods containing α-lipoic acid. Please consult us regarding granulated raw materials tailored to applications and manufacturing processes, including raw material design for tablets and capsules.
