Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 http://www.fao.org/docrep/W6355E/w6355e0l.htm Seems to be a Microcrystalline cellulose. The only reference I could find said " Avicel Microcrystalline cellulose " , so the link above is for Microcrystalline cellulose information. ----- Original Message ----- From: " mertburton " <mburtonakod@...> <low dose naltrexone > Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 05:36 Subject: [low dose naltrexone] Re: Fw: Filler ? > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > > Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 18:12 > > Subject: Re: Filler ? > > > > > > We use avicel, you should suggest to the person who sent you the > email to have their pharmacist try that, a little more expensive but a > much better filler. > > > > Skip > > > What is avicel?

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 http://www.fmcbiopolymer.com/Biopolymer/V2/PopProd/0,1979,Sel%253DIntroduction%2\ 526Key%253D1316%2526ppID%253D35,00.html found this too: Avicel microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a unique ingredient. In water, with shear, MCC forms a three-dimensional matrix comprised of millions of insoluble microcrystals that form an extremely stable, thixotropic gel. Avicel microcrystalline cellulose functions at any temperature and provides superior freeze/thaw and heat stability to finished products. All FMC BioPolymer manufacturing facilities maintain ISO certification on a global basis. ISO certification, along with a rigorous QA/QC program, assures highest quality products and functionality with every delivery. More than 35 years ago FMC BioPolymer introduced Avicel MCC to the food, pharmaceutical and specialty industries. We continue to maintain a leadership position within the markets we serve by improving on existing technology and creating revolutionary breakthroughs that offer our customers even greater functionality. FMC BioPolymer builds quality and performance into its family of Avicel products at three levels - raw material sourcing, the manufacture of Avicel, and tailoring the functional properties of each product. Today's Avicel product line has evolved into a family of highly functional products that offer optimum functionality to the food, specialty and pharmaceutical industries. FMC BioPolymer markets its Avicel products under five well-established trade names: Avicel, Avicel-plus® and Novagel® are primarily designed to meet the needs of the food industry. The Lattice® and Nilyn® products are designed to meet the needs of the specialty (non-foods) industry. ----- Original Message ----- From: " mertburton " <mburtonakod@...> <low dose naltrexone > Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 05:36 Subject: [low dose naltrexone] Re: Fw: Filler ? > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > > Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 18:12 > > Subject: Re: Filler ? > > > > > > We use avicel, you should suggest to the person who sent you the > email to have their pharmacist try that, a little more expensive but a > much better filler. > > > > Skip > > > What is avicel?

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Thanks, Larry, for doing the homework. Anyone have Skip's email address? I'd like to know the advantage of using avicel instead of calcium carbonate. Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just received from Skip at Skip's Pharmacy: Funny thing about CaCO, if you compact it too much it will act as a sustained release filler similar to methocel. The problem is to compact it exactly the same way every time, not hardly when you are doing it by hand. Avicel on the other hand does not have that problem. Skip The plot thickens . . . to calcium carbonate or to cellulose.--Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
