galenIQ™
What is galenIQ™ and what makes it unique?
galenIQ™ is the pharmaceutical grade of Isomalt, derived from sugar beets. It is designed for pharmaceutical applications and stands out due to its exceptional taste properties, low hygroscopicity, and excellent compressibility. This makes it ideal for a wide range of dosage forms, including tablets, chewable, lozenges, powders, and sachets.
What are the main applications of galenIQ™ in pharmaceuticals?
galenIQ™ is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for direct compression, granulation, and dry blending. Its applications include tablets, chewable tablets, lozenges, effervescent tablets, and powder blends. Its pleasant taste and mouthfeel also make it suitable for oral solid dosage forms and formulations where taste is a critical factor.
How does galenIQ™ enhance the taste of pharmaceutical products?
galenIQ™ has a sweet taste that can help to mask the bitterness of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), making medications more palatable. Its smooth texture and rapid dissolution in the oral cavity further contribute to a pleasant mouthfeel, enhancing the overall patient experience.
