Natural Food Colors

Natural food colors are pigments derived from plants, minerals, or other natural sources and are used in pharmaceuticals to provide a safer and more organic alternative to synthetic dyes. Common sources include turmeric, beetroot, spirulina, and carrot extract, which produce vibrant hues for tablets, capsules, and syrups.

Fun Fact:
Natural food colors are more sensitive to light and temperature than synthetic dyes, so they often require special handling to maintain their vibrant appearance in pharmaceuticals!
