Enteric Capsules

Enteric Capsules in Just One Processing Step

Conventional enteric soft capsules are often produced in a time-consuming two-stage process using synthetic polymers. GELITA is the only manufacturer to offer a natural specialty gelatin that enables the production of enteric soft capsules in just one process step. This means that the capsules can be produced not only more efficiently, but also in a more environmentally friendly way and to the highest quality.

Key Benefits

Improved Fill Protection

Enteric capsules protect sensitive fills from stomach acid, ensuring stability until they reach the small intestine

Enhanced Bioavailability

Fills are released in the small intestine rather than in the stomach for greater absorption and higher therapeutic efficacy

Reduced Side Effects

By delaying drug release until the small intestine, enteric capsules minimize stomach irritation and unpleasant aftertastes

Targeted Delivery

Enteric capsules ensure fills are released at the optimal site, which is crucial for precise dosing and drugs with narrow therapeutic windows

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.

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.

Hard Capsules

Protection and Bioavailibility

Hard gelatin capsules are a preferred dosage form for medicines and dietary supplements. They are particularly suitable for powdered and granulated fillings, protecting from oxygen, light, moisture and dust.
