Soft gelatine capsules

The soft gelatine capsule is also known as a soft capsule. This pharmaceutical form is gaining in popularity among consumers because it is taste-free and easy to take. Depending on the application, the contents can either be released in the stomach or not until the small intestine.

In contrast to the classic tablet, the content of a soft gelatine capsule is often already dissolved, which facilitates quick and easy absorption in the body. As a rule, the capsules contain a liquid or semi-solid core with a pharmaceutical content or food supplements. Soft capsules can be used to administer liquid vitamins, fats and essential oils. It is also possible to encapsulate finely ground solids suspended in a suitable liquid.
