Gelatin Capsules for Supplement Manufacturing

One of the most popular forms of capsules, gelatin capsules are often used in supplement manufacturing. As the name implies, gelatin capsules are composed primarily of gelatin and are generally made in two-piece forms. Gelatin capsules are especially well-liked because they can be used in high-speed encapsulation, allowing faster production. They also are favored because unlike chewables and powders, they can be swallowed without chewing or dissolving and with virtually no taste. For this reason, Gelatin capsules are used especially for supplements with strong or bitter-tasting ingredients.

Because they can be produced so quickly and easily, they get your product on the market faster, which increases revenue. Also, encapsulation of gelatin capsules does not require high levels of heat, meaning that ingredients that are sensitive to temperature can be used without affecting their integrity. Another unique factor of gelatin capsules that makes them appealing is the fact that they can be made opaque, cutting down on issues arising from light-sensitive ingredients, as well as allowing you to make a custom-colored design to increase brand recognition.
