GELITA® Pharmaceutical Grade Gelatin - A Versatile Excipient

GELITA® gelatin is indispensable in many pharmaceutical applications due to its outstanding properties: its unique film formation, temperature-accurate thermoreversible gelling and reliable adhesive behaviour make it a very special excipient.

New Standards in the Pharmaceutical Segment

As a leading supplier of high-quality gelatins and collagen peptides, GELITA sets standards in the pharmaceutical segment:
The patented RXL® gelatins ensure reduced crosslinking in the capsule structure, improving stability, shelf life and dissolution properties of capsules. Cutting edge endotoxin-controlled gelatins are available for products such as plasma expanders, vaccines and haemostatic sponges, which significantly reduce the risk of immune reactions. In addition to being used for hard and soft capsules, GELITA's pharmaceutical grade gelatin is ideal as a binding agent in tablets, as an excipient for granulates or coatings, as a thickening agent for liquid dosage forms, as a skin-friendly binder in pastes or for microencapsulating vitamins. All gelatins are also available in kosher and halal variants.

Bioscience

Gelatin: A Key Ingredient in Biomedicine

In the bioscience field, we are pioneering innovations in vaccine stabilization, 3D printing technologies, and medical devices, all while engaging with the exciting possibilities of artificial meat production.

Fast Release Capsules

Next Level Dissolution

With many medicines, users want a reliably fast mode of action. Here, the correct choice of softgel capsule gelatin is vital. RAPISOL® impresses with rapid dissolution even under difficult conditions.

Enteric Capsules

Efficient, Natural, and Premium-Quality

Enteric capsules protect sensitive ingredients on their way through the stomach and only dissolve in the small intestine so that the active ingredients are optimally utilised. They also reduce the unpleasant aftertaste of fish oil, for example.

Leaker Reduction

Optimize Softgel Production in One Easy Step

By switching to the appropriate gelatin, manufacturers can enjoy significant reductions in leakers, lower processing costs and higher quality end products.

Improved Capsule Stability

Longer Shelf Life and Reliable Fill-Release Performance

Softgel capsules are among the most popular dosage forms for food supplements and OTC products. However, they can only be efficient if they dissolve effectively. The RXL® portfolio ensures this by protecting capsules from crosslinking.

Microencapsulation

Protection and Dispersibility

GELITA® Pharmaceutical Grade Gelatin provides effective protection for sensitive, oil-soluble vitamins and polyunsaturated fatty acids, ensuring their stability and easy dispersibility in a wide range of applications.

Tablets

Gelatin in Tablets for Enhanced Stability

Tablets are a common, cost-efficient oral dosage form. Gelatin, as a natural binder, enhances flowability and ingredient distribution, simplifies tableting, improves active release, and supports the stability.

Softgel Capsules

Easy to Swallow

Soft gelatin capsules are easy to swallow, are neutral in taste and thus are readily accepted by consumers. Perfectly suited to liquid or semi-solid fillings, soft capsules are a popular dosage form for medicines and nutraceutical supplements, such as omega-3 fish oil.
