Excipients

Excipients are inactive substances used in pharmaceutical products, such as medicines and supplements, to help deliver the active ingredients effectively. They serve various purposes, including binding tablets together, providing a specific texture, ensuring stability, or helping the body absorb the medication. While excipients don’t directly treat ailments, they play a crucial role in the overall formulation, ensuring the drug works as intended and is safe to consume. Common examples include fillers, preservatives, and coloring agents, which enhance the medicine’s quality and usability without contributing to its therapeutic effects.
