Experience the Benefits of Agar Agar in Lozenges

Agar Agar, the 100% plant-based gelling agent derived from red seaweed, is redefining the way lozenges are formulated in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. With its firm gel structure, excellent mouthfeel and thermal stability, Agar Agar offers clear advantages over traditional gelatin or synthetic excipients—especially for brands embracing vegan, clean-label and natural product lines.
Unlike animal-derived binders, Agar Agar is entirely vegetarian and vegan-friendly, making it ideal for halal, kosher and plant-based formulations. Its natural origin supports a broad range of dietary preferences while also aligning with the growing global shift toward ethical and sustainable sourcing.
Beyond its gelling properties, Agar Agar enhances the consumer experience. It produces lozenges with a smooth, non-grainy texture that slowly dissolves in the mouth—delivering consistent release of actives and flavors. Its thermo-reversible gelation ensures stability at room temperature and dissolvability at body temperature, eliminating issues with premature melting or storage limitations.
Functionally, Agar Agar acts as both a binder and stabilizer, helping maintain lozenge shape, prevent crumbling, and ensure even distribution of ingredients. Its naturally low water activity also helps reduce microbial growth, extending shelf life without additional preservatives. Agar Agar is tasteless, odorless and widely recognized as safe (GRAS) by global food and drug authorities. Whether you're developing herbal throat lozenges, vitamin-infused melts or medicated OTC products, Agar Agar brings unmatched reliability and versatility to your formulation toolkit.
In a market driven by consumer trust, transparency and plant-based innovation, Agar Agar offers a future-forward solution that delivers on performance and stability.
