Why is bioavailability important for Manufacturing companies of gelatin capsules?
For producers and marketers of softgels, bioavailability is a determining factor. Consumers of supplements or medications need some assurance that the active ingredients can be broken down and absorbed by the body. Here, the delivery format is important. Softgels offer ideal dissolution properties that can, with different types of gelatin, can be controlled to offer the right release at the right time in the right place. Further, dosing consistency and accuracy are other advantages of softgels. Reputable gelatin suppliers offer Halal and Kosher certifications for different gelatin types to satisfy wide-ranging consumer requirements and preferences.
How many steps require a softgel manufacturing process?
The softgel manufacturing process is other than the hard capsule manufacturing process a one step process. That means that the capsule and the fill is formed together at the same time. (Remark: but hard capsule processes run much faster than SC processes! And powders cannot be filled into a SC) The capsules are filled into a hermetically sealed shell without including air which is a big advantage for oxygen sensitive fills. The soft capsule manufacturing process is designed for filling liquids or pastes into the shell. Liquids have the big advantage that the fill is faster available for the body. Powders must first dissolve in the liquid to be available for an uptake by the body.
