Sodium Starch Glycolate – Premium superdisintegrant excipient from India

1. General Introduction to Sodium Starch Glycolate

Sodium Starch Glycolate is a modified starch, notable for its rapid water absorption and strong swelling capabilities. This active ingredient is widely applied as a superdisintegrant excipient in pharmaceutical formulations, helping tablets and capsules disintegrate quickly upon contact with gastric fluid, thereby accelerating the release rate and bioavailability of the active ingredient.

The raw material is manufactured by Gangwal Healthcare Pvt Ltd (India), a reputable manufacturer of pharmaceutical chemicals and excipients. With an advanced manufacturing process, Gangwal's Sodium Starch Glycolate achieves superior quality, strictly controlling microbial and impurity standards, ensuring absolute consistency between production batches, and fully meeting the most stringent global Pharmacopoeia standards.

2. Material Information of Sodium Starch Glycolate

• Material Name: Sodium Starch Glycolate
• Manufacturer: Gangwal Healthcare Pvt Ltd
• Origin: India
• Material Group: Pharmaceutical Excipients / Superdisintegrants.
• Function: Helps tablets and capsules disintegrate quickly, enhancing solubility and absorption of pharmaceutical substances.
• Chemical Composition: Sodium salt of carboxymethyl ether of starch.
• Material Form: White or off-white, free-flowing powder, odorless or with a slight odor.
• Solubility: Practically insoluble in water but swells immensely in water; insoluble in most organic solvents.

• Impurity and microbial limits: Strictly controls heavy metal content and meets stringent microbial standards for oral preparations.

3. Advantages of Sodium Starch Glycolate from Gangwal

• Impressive superdisintegrant effect: Strong water absorption and swelling capabilities help tablets disintegrate rapidly even when used at low concentrations (typically 2% - 8%).
• High compatibility: Suitable for various tableting methods (direct compression, wet granulation, dry granulation) and highly compatible with most pharmaceutical active ingredients.
• Outstanding stability: Disintegration capability is not diminished under high compression forces during tableting and remains effective throughout the drug's shelf life.
• Reasonable cost - Stable supply: Manufactured in India by Gangwal Healthcare, the product has an optimally competitive price, providing an effective solution for factories to optimize production costs.

4. Applications of Sodium Starch Glycolate

In Pharmaceuticals (Core Application)

• Tablets and capsules: Acts as a superdisintegrant (added both intra-granularly and extra-granularly) for solid oral dosage forms, facilitating the rapid release of medicinal substances.

In Health Supplements

• Nutritional supplement tablets: Applied in vitamin, mineral, or herbal extract tablets to ensure the product disintegrates easily in the stomach, maximizing absorption.
