Pharma Grade
USP/EP compliant. Tablet disintegration, controlled-release matrix, capsule filling.
Overview
Pharma Grade (GG-PHA) is one of Apeksha Enterprises' 14 application-engineered guar gum grades, developed specifically for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers. USP/EP compliant. Tablet disintegration, controlled-release matrix, capsule filling. It is formulated for use in pharmaceutical formulations, at a typical dosage of 2–10% depending on your target texture and process conditions.
Key Benefits
USP/EP Compliant
Manufactured and tested to United States Pharmacopeia / European Pharmacopoeia monograph specifications.
Controlled Release
Forms a hydrophilic gel matrix that regulates drug diffusion rate for sustained or controlled-release dosage forms.
Tablet Disintegrant
Swells rapidly on contact with fluid to break tablets apart quickly and reliably for consistent dissolution.

Formulation Guidance
In tableting, guar gum's swelling and gelling behavior make it effective as either a disintegrant (lower dosage, direct compression) or a controlled-release matrix former (higher dosage, hydrophilic gel layer) — the same material behaves differently depending purely on the percentage used, so early-stage dosage trials matter more than they do with single-purpose excipients.
USP/EP-grade material ships with full compendial testing documentation. Request the current Certificate of Analysis and, where relevant, DMF (Drug Master File) reference information as part of your qualification process.
