Healthcare is essential for the welfare of animals and prevention of diseases transferred from animals to humans. JRS provides solutions for custom delivery systems and dosage forms to meet the needs of the growing global animal health industry.

ARBOCEL®, powdered cellulose, is a plant-based functional filler. Powdered cellulose is chemically inert and is, thus, not metabolized by the human body. Because it is not digested, it has no functional caloric value. It is commonly used by formulators as an alternative to lactose when designing medicine for lactose-intolerant patients. ARBOCEL®’s binding properties and natural fiber structure lead to stable tablets with low friability.

The Cellulose Compactability MAp provides a combined overview of the powder flow and tabletability of JRS PHARMA’s powder cellulose, MCC, and silicified MCC grades.

EMCOMPRESS® Calcium Phosphates are waterinsoluble functional fillers for wet granulation and direct compression applications.

EMDEX® is a directly compressible, water-soluble tablet binder and filler. Its unique composition of 95% glucose monohydrate and different oligosaccharides derived from starch is monographed under “dextrates” in the NF. With use levels ranging from 1% to 99%, EMDEX® is designed for a variety of tablet applications.

A secure supply chain is crucial to sustain the growing international need for pharma products. As a high demand, universal product group, MCC (Microcrystalline Cellulose) requires an excipient manufacturer with a global manufacturing network backed by years of production know-how.

Designed to help you find the right rheology modifier for your formulation, the JRS Hydrocolloid Navigator allows you to compare the applications and functionalities of multiple products in a single glance.

Hydrocolloids are plant-based ingredients derived from natural raw materials, such as wood fiber, fruits, and seaweed. This brochure outlines JRS PHARMA’s extensive hydrocolloids portfolio designed for a broad range of functionalities, including coatings, thickeners, stabilizers, and gelling agents. JRS Hydrocolloids are non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, halal, and kosher certified.

JRS PHARMA is one of the largest manufacturers of Microcrystalline Cellulose with seven production facilities across three continents. Our innovative internal production process ensures the highest quality standards for all our MCC products.

LUBRI-PREZ Magnesium Stearate is a plant-derived tablet lubricant designed for effectively reducing the punch adhesion and die-wall friction in tableting.

EMCOCEL® MCC (Microcrystalline Cellulose) is an odorless, tasteless, white powder with a high degree of brightness, derived from highly purified wood pulp. With a wide range of chemical, technical, and economic benefits, MCC is one of the most widely used binder/ filler excipients for tablet formulations.

VIVAPUR® MCC (microcrystalline cellulose) is an odorless, tasteless white powder with a high degree of brightness, derived from highly purified wood pulp. With a wide range of chemical, technical, and economic benefits, MCC is one of the most widely used binder/ filler excipients for tablet formulations.

JRS Pharma MCC Microcrystalline Cellulose Wide Range of Premium Quality MCC Binders for Specific Formulation Needs

PROSOLV® EASYtab SP is an all-in-one, ready-to-use, homogenous lubricant-coated high functionality excipient composite. It is comprised of four individual components: a binder-filler, a glidant, a superdisintegrant, and a lubricant. These components maintain their chemical identities while synergistically providing increased functional performance. PROSOLV® EASYtab SP tablets are robust, offer good API stability, and require lower excipient levels than traditional blends. The advantage of using PROSOLV® EASYtab SP is higher profitability through economic savings due to higher productivity, lower set-up and cleaning costs, higher yield, and less loss.

PROSOLV® ODT G2 is a high functionality excipient for orally disintegrating tablet formulation, development, and manufacture. It provides the functional performance needed for today’s orally disintegrating tablet formulation challenges and offers a creamy, smooth, cool mouth feel.

Over 20 years ago, JRS PHARMA developed a new and innovative excipient, PROSOLV® SMCC (silicified microcrystalline cellulose), to alleviate some of the known deficiencies of conventional binders including: low bulk density, poor flow, loss of compatibility, stickiness issues, and sensitivity to lubricants. PROSOLV® SMCC not only addresses these challenges, but also offers enhanced performance.

PRUV®, Sodium Stearyl Fumarate, is a tablet lubricant specifically designed for formulations in which other lubricants lead to formulation and/or manufacturing challenges. As opposed to magnesium stearate, it offers advantages including: high degree of API compatibility, robustness to over-lubrication, no adverse effect on bioavailability, and improved appearance of effervescent solutions.

To allow easier comparison between the individual grades, we have paid particular attention to maintaining the same magnification across the micrographs presented in this SEM Atlas. The SEM Atlas was designed to provide guidance to the formulator with the goal of making rational excipient selections. Beyond this practical aspect, however, we hope that you share our appreciation for the beauty of the microcosmos of excipients.

The Tablet Formulation Guide simplifies and optimizes the excipient and manufacturing process selection. The guide identifies four critical attributes of the active ingredients, including concentration, compactability, and solubility to help find the best possible excipients for your tablet formulation.

VIVACOAT® - Ready-to-Use Coating System for Nutritional Tablets

VIVACOAT® - Ready-to-Use Coating System for Pharmaceutical Tablets

With VIVAPHARM® Alginates, JRS PHARMA offers an extensive portfolio for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and medical device industries. Derived from a rich field of brown algae just off the French Brittany coast, the VIVAPHARM® Alginates portfolio consists of Sodium Alginate, Calcium Alginate, and Alginic Acid.

VIVAPHARM® HPMC, JRS PHARMA’s hypromellose product line, is an integral ingredient within the broad excipient product range used for solid dosage form development and manufactured by the pharmaceutical and dietary supplement industries.

Pectins have a long tradition as a gel former in jams. Since commercial production began in the early twentieth century, Pectin use has spread into a wide variety of applications where texturizing, stabilizing, thickening and gel forming are needed. With VIVAPHARM® Pectins, JRS PHARMA offers a full range of high quality citrus Pectins including pure Pectin for pharmaceutical applications, as well as standardized and buffered Pectins for nutraceutical applications.

VIVAPHARM® PVA 05 fine is a water soluble synthetic polymer. It is synthetized by polymerization of vinylacetate and subsequent partial hydrolysis.

VIVAPHARM® PVP/VA 64 is the ultimate tablet binder for all processing technologies. It can be used in direct compression, wet granulation, and dry granulation, as well as in hot melt extrusion for poorly soluble drug actives with low bioavailability.

VIVAPHARM® PVP K30 is the classic wet binder with optimal balance between adhesive strength and ease of handling. It has excellent solubility in water and a range of organic solvents, and is supplied as a free-flowing powder with spherical particle morphology. This ensures rapid dispersibility and ultimate flexibility in the solvent of choice.

VIVAPHARM® PVPP, Crospovidone, is unsurpassed in its performance and versatility as a superdisintegrant in formulations. It combines different mechanisms to achieve rapid tablet disintegration at low concentrations (1-5%).

Sugar spheres are well established, water-soluble carriers for multiparticulate dosage forms. Unlike monolithic forms, in which entire tablets or capsules are coated with functional layers, multiparticulate forms offer considerable advantages:

VIVAPUR® MCC SPHERES consist purely of Microcrystalline Cellulose making them extremely robust and chemically inert. They are, therefore, excellently suited as a carrier system.
