Dr. Paul Lohmann
Dr Paul Lohmann is the world's leading provider of specialty mineral salts to the pharmaceutical, dietary supplement and food industries and manufactures a wide selection of mineral salts in compliance with regulatory requirements and current pharmacopoeias. Dr. Paul Lohmann's facilities are GMP- and ISO 9001:2000 certified.
More and more popular in the pharmaceutical industry are the direct-compression mineral salts. Dr. Paul Lohmann's DC grade mineral salts enable the manufacturing of tablets with fine grain structure, optimized hardness and smooth surface and contribute significatively to cost-reduction during the tabletting process. This product range consists of calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, ferrous fumarate, magnesium hydroxide, calcium citrate and magnesium trisilicate.
To facilitate the manipulation of trace elements (which are toxic even in small doses) Dr. Paul Lohmann offers triturations of these products in concentrations between 0.1 and 5% diluted in inert carrier materials. Specific customer advantages are the easy portioning, homogeneous blending, minimized toxicity and an easy handling. The current portfolio covers triturations of selenium, chromium, copper, molybdenium and iodine. Custom-made blended triturations can be provided on request. Dr. Paul Lohmann's portfolio has been newly extended with the introduction of the "Low Endotoxin Mineral Salts" product line, indicated for the production of parenteral, dialysis and ophtalmic products.
This product range is produced on a new, dedicated production line. At present, nine different mineral salts based on calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium are already available in a low-endotoxin quality and it is foreseen to keep expanding this product line.
