Talc is a naturally occurring mineral composed of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen, used in pharmaceuticals as a glidant, which helps powders flow smoothly during tablet formation. Its soft, silky texture also aids in creating uniform tablets and capsules.
In regulated pharmaceutical use, talc is purified to remove contaminants and meets strict safety standards. While it doesn’t offer nutritional benefits, it ensures manufacturing efficiency, tablet consistency, and smooth texture, all of which are crucial for high-quality supplement production.
