SPHIRO™ MT

Mannitol Pellets

Sugar-Free Starter Pellets for Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Applications

SPHIRO™ MT are pharmaceutical-grade spherical starter pellets manufactured from mannitol.

They are designed as sugar-free starter cores for active-ingredient layering and functional coating in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical oral solid dosage forms.

Mannitol provides an alternative core platform for formulation developers who prefer a mannitol-based, sugar-free starter pellet rather than a conventional sucrose-based core.

SPHIRO™ MT are manufactured with controlled particle size distribution and spherical geometry to support consistent layering, coating and downstream processing.
