1. Product Function
Gelatin is the primary ingredient in soft capsule shells, which encase liquid or semi-liquid drugs, vitamins, and supplements. As a natural, biocompatible polymer, it provides a safe delivery method for medications, keeping active ingredients stable and enabling controlled release.
2. Main Advantages
Biocompatibility: Well-tolerated by the human body, it minimizes the risk of allergic reactions, making it highly suitable for pharmaceutical applications.
Customizable Dissolution: Different gelatin grades allow adjustment of capsule dissolution rates, enabling precise drug release—whether immediate or sustained—to match specific medication needs.
Ingredient Protection: The gelatin shell acts as a barrier against light, oxygen, and moisture, extending the effectiveness of the contents.
Easy Swallowing: The soft, smooth texture of gelatin capsules simplifies ingestion, improving patient compliance.
3. Applications
Liquid Drugs: Ideal for containing oils (e.g., fish oil), liquid extracts, and other viscous substances, preventing leakage and ensuring accurate dosing.
Nutritional Supplements: Vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements are easily encapsulated in gelatin soft capsules, enhancing their stability and convenience for consumers. Hengxin Company offers a range of gelatin types, each engineered to ensure optimal solubility and shell integrity for such formulations.
Targeted Delivery: Special gelatin formulations enable soft capsules to release drugs at specific sites in the body, boosting treatment effectiveness.
