High-Quality Dextrose USP 97.5% | Pharmaceutical Grade Sugar
Premium USP Grade Dextrose for Medical and Food Applications
Dextrose (C₆H₁₂O₆·H₂O), also known as D-Glucose Monohydrate, is a naturally occurring simple sugar used extensively as a sweetener, energy source, and stabilizer across various industries. Supplied in USP Grade with a minimum purity of 97.5%, it appears as colorless crystals or white, crystalline/granular powder, and is odorless with a sweet taste.
In pharmaceuticals, Dextrose is widely used in oral rehydration salts, IV fluids, and energy supplements. It acts as a carrier for active pharmaceutical ingredients, a diluent in tablets and powders, and a caloric source in parenteral nutrition and electrolyte mixtures.
