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

Capabilities:

• Laboratory scale process enables:

• Technology demonstrations

• Formulation development support

• Product concept assessment

• Sample manufacture for in vitro and stability assessment

Proven GMP capability:

Small GMP batches for early in vivo testing
