Microcrystalline Cellulose

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a refined form of plant fiber derived from cellulose, the main component of plant cell walls. It is widely used as a filler, binder, and thickening agent in pharmaceuticals and food products due to its stability, inertness, and ability to improve texture. MCC helps give tablets their shape and stability, ensuring even distribution of active ingredients. It is flavorless, odorless, and non-toxic, making it safe for consumption. Its properties allow it to function as a disintegrant, promoting the breakup of tablets and capsules in the digestive system for effective absorption.
