Compritol® E ATO

This high-melting point glyceride has multiple functionalities. At a small percentage, it can be used as a lubricant for tablets and hard capsules. At a higher percentage, it forms a lipid matrix from which the nutraceutical active ingredient diffuses slowly. This sustained release is beneficial for the consumers’ adherence as it means it is possible to achieve a single dose per day.
