Colorcon Introduces Nutracore® LFP to Streamline Nutraceutical Capsule and Tablet Manufacturing at Supply Side Global in Las Vegas
Nutracore® LFP is an organic, label-friendly lubricant that enhances lubrication, flow and compression performance in one easy-to-use solution.
Harleysville, Pennsylvania (USA), October 20, 2026 – Colorcon, a global leader in film coating systems, excipient technology, modified release, and controlled atmosphere packaging, today announced the launch of Nutracore LFP, an organic, clean label lubricant designed to significantly simplify nutraceutical capsule and tablet manufacturing.
Nutracore LFP—which stands for Lubricate, Flow, and Press—enhances lubrication, flow and compression performance in one, simple formulation. It can be added directly in manufacturing, significantly reducing processing complexity by removing the need for sifting, pre-blending or rework.
Designed specifically for nutraceutical applications, Nutracore LFP supports smooth capsule filling and tablet production with improved powder flow, consistent fill weight and content uniformity. During tableting, it also promotes smooth compression and easy ejection while producing strong, durable tablets with quick disintegration.
“Nutracore LFP was developed as the solution to a common problem customers are facing … how can we simplify manufacturing and reduce time to market in a competitive industry,” said Russell Prestipino, Global Business Manager at Colorcon. “We created this product to streamline manufacturing, while ensuring reliable performance and simplifying production. By bringing lubrication, flow and compression properties together in one, easy-to-use solution, we are helping customers address real manufacturing challenges in capsule and tablet applications.”
Superior powder flow can help minimize common production challenges like rat-holing, hopper scraping and automatic shutdown. Nutracore LFP also produces robust tablets with high tensile strength across varying compression forces and reliable performance across a range of nutraceutical formulations.
Nutracore LFP is a part of Colorcon’s Nutracore® portfolio, a range of label-friendly excipients designed to help nutraceutical manufacturers meet consumer expectations for recognizable ingredients while supporting efficient, consistent production.
