Capsule in capsule technology
Capsule-in-capsule supplements are manufactured using specialty liquid-filled hard-capsule technology (LFHC). The capsule-in-capsule form allows for better release profiles that more precisely meet a customer’s target release. With liquid-filled hard-capsule technology, you have the option of immediate, extended, pulsed, or delayed release, unlike that of other forms. This allows for delivery of supplement or OTC compounds to two different regions of the GI tract, and even delivery to the colon with the addition of enteric coatings. This single oral dosage delivery system, which involves inserting a smaller pre-filled capsule containing either a liquid or semi-liquid formulation into a larger liquid-filled capsule, offers numerous possibilities and a broad range of formulation and design options. New compounds in the pharmaceutical pipeline are increasingly complex and typically requires enabling technologies to address challenges such as solubility, permeability, stability,...
