TYLOPUR Xtend Nutra® is a plant derived ingredient (high viscous hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, HPMC) that has been developed by Shin-Etsu to provide a controlled, extended release of active compounds over a longer period of time, prolonging their effects on human body. TYLOPUR Xtend Nutra® acts as a hydrophilic matrix agent in hydrophilic matrix system, which is the simplest sustained release technology, consisting essentially of an active compound and a water soluble highly viscous natural polymer. Such a system allows a simple and straight forward direct compression formulation and a reduction of doses per day. It is not only cost effective but it is also consumer friendly. The mechanism of action of TYLOPUR Xtend Nutra® in hydrophilic matrix tablets consists of initial swelling caused by the hydration of a tablet, protective gel formation, which regulates the degree of active compound’s release, and time-related extended release of an active compound through the gel layer.
