ReadyBlend all-in-one mixes cover most formulations in one bag; two specialty blends handle fast-disintegrating and sustained-release formats; and four standalone excipients cover anyone building a custom blend from scratch. Pick a product below for full specs, photos, and pricing.

One directly-compressible powder that replaces your binder, filler, glidant, and lubricant shopping list. Nine food-grade colors, mix with your active at 20–60%.

Built around a superdisintegrant, for tablets that need to break apart quickly — typically under 60 seconds — instead of holding together like a standard tablet.

An HPMC matrix blend for extended-release, once-daily tablet formats — a starting point for an 8–12 hour release window.

The workhorse binder-filler for building your own formulation from scratch. Excellent compressibility and a neutral taste.

A dense, free-flowing filler for formulations that need weight and flow. Often blended with MCC to balance compressibility against flow rate.

The standard tablet lubricant. Add at 0.5–2% for the final minutes of blending only, for clean ejection without sticking.
A glidant that keeps cohesive powders moving through the hopper and feed boot, for even fill and consistent tablet weight.
