Direct Compression of Probiotic Tablets with PROSOLV® EASYtab Nutra
Although probiotics are mostly administered in the form of capsules, there are some advantages of tablets in terms of production effort, cost efficiency and stability of the probiotic bacteria. As probiotics are sensitive to high pressure and temperature, it is essential to select appropriate excipients for direct compression to ensure sufficient viability of the bacteria cells during production and storage. The aim of the study was to investigate the performance of high-functional excipients for direct compression of probiotic tablets.
