Bitter-Bloc™ Pure Powder
Our Bitter-Bloc™ Pure Powder is the next generation technology protein to block flavor defects Naturally. Bitter-Bloc can be formulated to work in hundreds of applications to effectively solve the palatability problems found with many APIs and excipients. Other products on the market simply mask flavor defects, Bitter-Bloc™ blocks flavor defects from reaching taste buds to give your compounded prescriptions a cleaner taste profile to help improve patient compliance and satisfaction. Bitter-Bloc is an organic, water-soluble protein that a validated 3rd party study shows that it effectively modulates the bitter taste receptors on the tongue, therefore maximizing the reduction in bitterness perception. Bitter-Bloc™ also works to eliminate salty, metallic, astringent, and general off-notes in a variety of liquid, powder, or tablet based oral formulations.

How Bitter-Bloc™ Technology Works
Other products on the market simply mask flavor defects, Bitter-Bloc™ actually blocks flavor defects from reaching taste receptors on the tongue to prevent the bitter molecules from binding with the receptor sites. In effect, it gives the product a cleaner taste. This allows formulators to use ingredients that meet consumer demand without compromising on taste. Works to eliminate bitter, salty, metallic, astringent, and general off-notes in a variety of oral formulations.
Is Bitter-Bloc™ a sweetness modulator? Bitter-Bloc™ is not a sweetness modulator as it does not affect sweetness. However, in some cases tasters will notice an enhanced flavor profile. Since bitterness is a strong flavor, it often will overpower the other flavors present. Bitter-Bloc™ will bring down the bitterness perception to the point that other flavors are now able to be perceived.
