Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients
Ascorbic acid sustained-release (SR) pellets are a form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) designed to release the nutrient into the body over a prolonged period. This controlled-release mechanism is achieved by coating the pellets, which allows for a more gradual and consistent absorption of the vitamin.

| Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) | Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) |
| Sugar Spheres / MCC Spheres | Inert core or starter pellets |
| Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) | Binder / Film former during layering |
| Talc / Colloidal Silicon Dioxide | Anti-adherent / Glidant |
| Ethyl Cellulose / Eudragit RS/RL | Sustained release coating polymer |
| Triethyl Citrate / PEG 6000 | Plasticizer (for coating flexibility) |
| Talc | Anti-sticking agent in coating |
| Purified Water | Solvent (removed after processing) |
