coadiuvante di principi attivi

Italian to English Science Medical: Pharmaceuticals sito azienda vinicola - sezione acido tartarico naturale per utilizzo nel settore farmacologico
si dice che nel settore farmacologico l'acido tartarico naturale viene utilizzato come eccipiente e coadiuvante di principi attivi. Non riesco a tradurre "coadiuvante di principi attivi". Potrebbe essere "active ingredient adjuvant"? Oppure solo "adjuvant"?

Grazie mille a chi sapra' aiutarmi!
Proposed translations (English)
3 +2 (co)adjuvant for active ingredients

Anthony Green Jul 1, 2014:
of course a co-adjuvant literally is one of two or more adjuvants

(co)adjuvant for active ingredients

Peer comment(s):
agree Anthony Green : In most contexts, I would be inclined to go just for adjuvant, as in a pharmaceutical situation this is bound to refer to a substance boosting the action of the active ingredient, isn't it?

I must admit, I have only ever come across & used 'adjuvant'; however, they are both classed as synonyms.
