FAQ

 

Q: What coating materials do you use?

A: We offer two options: Ethyl Cellulose for dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals, and hydrogenated vegetable lipids/stearic acid for animal feed with high heat resistance.

Q: What is the retention rate after pelleting or extrusion?

A: Our coated Vitamin C retains 85–92% potency after pelleting (≤90°C) or extrusion (≤130°C), while regular Vitamin C typically retains only 30–50%.

Q: Does the coating affect bioavailability?

A: No. The coating protects Vitamin C during processing and dissolves in the digestive tract, ensuring 100% bioavailability.

Q: Is it suitable for direct compression tableting?

A: Yes. The Ethyl Cellulose coating improves compressibility and helps prevent capping and lamination during high-speed tableting.

Q: What is your MOQ?

A: Our standard MOQ is 1,000 kg, with 200–500 kg trial orders available for first-time customers.

Q: Do you provide free samples?

A: Yes. We offer 100–500 g free samples. Customers pay the courier cost, which is credited on the first bulk order.

Q: How do you prevent caking during ocean shipping?

A: We use 25 kg fiber drums or multi-wall cartons with sealed PE liners and container desiccants to control moisture.

Q: Can you customize assay or mesh size?

A: Yes. We offer 90%, 93%, 97%, and customized assay levels, as well as tailored mesh sizes.

Q: Do you have FAMI-QS certification?

A: Yes. Our feed-grade products are FAMI-QS certified and also comply with ISO, HACCP, GMP, Kosher, and Halal standards.

Q: What are your lead time and payment terms?

A: Lead time is 7–10 days for standard products and 14–21 days for customized orders. We accept T/T and L/C at sight, with flexible terms for long-term partners.
