Sunett® Ace K Pharma Grade C is a sugar substitute that works best for compressed tablets and powdered mixes. Pharma grades comply with United States Pharmacopeia (USP), National Formulary (NF) and European Pharmacopoeia (EP) standards.
Sunett® Acesulfame K Pharma Grade C is a high-intensity, zero-calorie sweetener that effectively addresses various challenges in pharmaceutical formulations. This sugar substitute enhances the palatability of low-calorie medications, thereby improving patient compliance. Its fine particle size, with 95% of particles smaller than 355 microns, ensures excellent solubility, making it suitable for fine powdered mixes and sachets. Additionally, its stability across a wide range of pH levels and temperatures guarantees consistent sweetness in diverse applications. The sweetener's compatibility with other active ingredients means it does not interfere with the efficacy of medications, which is critical for ensuring optimal therapeutic outcomes. Moreover, its non-hygroscopic nature prevents it from absorbing moisture, thereby maintaining product integrity during storage and transportation.
While Sunett® Acesulfame K is classified as safe by the FDA and supported by over 90 studies confirming its safety for consumption, some potential side effects have been noted. Concerns include possible impacts on insulin secretion and changes to gut microbiota, which could lead to weight gain or chronic inflammation. However, these effects have primarily been observed in animal studies using doses much higher than the acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 15 mg/kg for humans. The FDA and other international health authorities have concluded that Acesulfame K poses no significant health risks when consumed within recommended limits.
As the only non-generic Ace-K certified by USP, EP, and NF standards, Sunett® Acesulfame K Pharma Grade C provides manufacturers with assurance of high quality and safety. Its ability to blend seamlessly with other sweeteners enhances flavor profiles without overshadowing original tastes, making it an indispensable ingredient for developing effective and appealing pharmaceutical products. Furthermore, its non-cariogenic property ensures that it does not contribute to dental cavities, an essential consideration in both medicinal and dietary contexts.
