Versatile Solutions for Binding and Coating

In wet granulation, an aqueous medium-Bloom gelatin solution made from bovine hide split, bovine bone or porcine skin with a Bloom value of around 180g Bloom is used as binding agent. However, gelatin is also suitable for film-coating tablets. The so-called “caplets” combines the advantages of tablets and capsules, as gelatin-coated tablets are easy to produce and easy to swallow.

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.

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.
