Which excipients are best used for subsequent preparations for a premature: folic acid, Vit. C, Alfa Tocopherol acetate (each separately)

For folic acid, mannitol is recommended. For Vit C ev. Dried starch? Or is it better used another excipients as it is for a premature?

Answer

from the book "Pharmaceutical Excipients"  : In Pharmaceutical preparations mannitol is primarily used as a   diluent (10 – 90% w/w) in tablet formulations, where it is or   particular value since it is not hygroscopic and may thus be used   with moisture-sensitive active ingredients.. So I think we can put it with 1 filler.
