Tablet product is offered in a broad range of sizes, shapes, colours and powdered material can be offered with varying particle size and flow rate. Nutrition Care’s customer base for these products spans clients in Australia, NZ, SEA and China.
Dispensary
Nutrition Care’s Dispensary is where the manufacturing process begins for products and pharmaceutical powders. Using the latest in environmental controls, ingredients are weighed out for production as specified in the master formula documentation. This documentation is used to record the raw materials, batch numbers & quantities dispensed during this phase & then remains the primary quality assurance document for the product throughout the manufacturing process.
Wet granulation is a blending process, which uses liquid solutions to bridge and bind the particles of the dispensed mix into a compressible aggregate. By incorporating liquids this process also facilitates an even dispersion of active ingredient and weight throughout the mix. Suitable for certain products only this process ensures homogeneity & bioavailability within mixes not suited to "dry" blending operations.
Compression
Compression is the process whereby material is processed into tablets. NCP has an extensive inventory of compression machines and tablet tooling for manufacturing a wide range of shapes & sizes. High speed, high technology pharmaceutical tablet presses support customers with large batch run requirements producing in excess of 100,000 tablets per hour these presses are state-of-the-art technology. For smaller batch customers slower, less automated presses are offered to ensure the manufacturing solution remains cost effective. All tablets produced are checked for there physical and chemical properties via a stringent quality control program.

These tests are underpinned by an extensive library of validated test methods and authenticated botanical reference standards developed either in-house or sourced from the latest international research.
The purpose of stability testing is to ensure the product meets 100% of label claim through the duration of shelf life.
