Formulation protection you can count on
Capsugel® Organicaps™ capsules can help brands meet consumer demand without compromising on performance. Compared to HPMC and gelatin, Capsugel® Organicaps™ capsules demonstrate the highest oxygen barrier and excellent stability under accelerated conditions.* This allows for optimal stability and protection, helping to preserve your organic formulation.
They also offer an excellent disintegration profile, equal to gelatin, providing immediate release performance. What’s more, Capsugel® Organicaps™ capsules have a non-reactive shell which works well with plant-based ingredients, such as omega-3s, vitamin K, and C; and eliminates “spotting” concerns commonly observed with gelatin capsules.
