Sodium Starch Glycolate
Sodium starch glycolate is a white tasteless, odourless, relatively free flowing powder derived from cross-linking and carboxymethylation of either potato or maize (corn) starch. It functions as a highly effective superdisintegrant in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations, promoting rapid tablet and capsule breakdown.
