Product Information
galenIQ 720 is an agglomerated spherical isomalt that is most commonly used in lozenge tablets.
galenIQ makes medicine taste better. It is a highly functional filler-binder that stands out for its well-balanced sweetness that reduces the bitter taste of APIs and helps to mask the unpleasant taste of ingredients such as plant extracts. galenIQ is the pharmaceutical grade of BENEO’s Isomalt that is derived from beet sugar. Its pleasant mouthfeel is very similar to that of sucrose and it has no significant off-taste or aftertaste.
