This monomer is also the natural physiological sugar in the human body. In it’s crystalline form this doubly natural sugar has long been used both as a filler for oral dosage forms and as a sweetener. It also helps in improving the stability of API sensitive to oxidation due to it’s slight reducing properties. Therapeutically it is used as a preferred source of carbohydrate in parenteral nutrition.
