Innovative Soft Capsules - Alginate Capsule Technology
Utilizing a novel patented process (alginate) this technology provides a unique seamless, enteric, vegetarian alternative to gelatin soft capsules in one unit process for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.
Alginate capsules advantages:
Globally acceptable regulatory compliance with Vegetarian (gelatin-free)
Capsules easier to swallow:
Smaller Capsule: Seamless thinner capsule shell, allowing for capsules 30% smaller than traditional gelatin for a given fill volume
No Fish Burps: Naturally enteric providing superior gastro resistant and enteric release properties to film coated alternatives
Superior elegance - high shell transparency
Sugar and gluten free
Manufacture of capsules easier:
Favorable unit cost - process does not produce waste ribbon as seen in traditional rotary die processes and eliminates need/cost of enteric film coating maximizing production efficiency
Process designed to provide oxidation protection
QbD development philosophy
Patented product and process enables product life cycle enhancement.
IP Protected
