Magnesium stearate is created by the reaction of sodium stearate with magnesium sulfate. Magnesium stearate, also called octadecanoic acid, magnesium salt, is a white substance, powder which becomes solid at room temperature. Magnesium stearate melts at about 88 C, is not soluble in water, and is generally considered safe for human consumption at levels below 2500 mgkg per day.Magnesium stearate is also used to bind sugar in hard candies like mints, and is a common ingredient in baby formulas.Magnesium stearate is manufactured from both animal and vegetable oils. Some nutritional supplements specify that the magnesium stearate used is sourced from vegetables Magnesium stearate is a major component of "bathtub rings." When produced by soap and hard water. Magnesium stearate is a white solid insoluble in water, and are collectively known as "soap scum."

Sodium starch glycolate is used as a pharmaceutical grade dissolution excipient for tablets and capsules. Sodium starch glycolate absorbs water rapidly, resulting in swelling which leads to rapid disintegration of tablets and granules. It is used as a disintegrant, a suspending agent and as a gelling agent. Without a disintegrant, tablets may not dissolve appropriately and may effect the amount of active ingredient absorbed, thereby decreasing effectiveness

Sodium C.M.C is prepared from cellulose by treatment with alkali and monochloro - acetic acid or Sodium monochloro acetate (sodium saltof MCA). Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose is an anionic water soluble polymer derived from cellulose.It is odour less, taste less and nontoxic. it is soluble in water , it is a free flowing white to off-white powder. Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is suspending agent, Viscosity increasing agent, pharmaceutical aid, Tablet excipient. CMC is used primarily in foods, drugs and cosmetics, emulsion stabilizer, thickener and to improve texture.
