1. Product Function
Gelatin forms the shell of hard capsules, which enclose solid medications, powders, or granules. As a natural, robust polymer, it provides a protective, stable structure for pharmaceutical products.
Additionally, as a leading collagen supplement manufacturer, our expertise ensures that gelatin grades are optimized for downstream nutraceutical applications.
2. Main Advantages
Durability: The hard shell resists breakage during handling and storage, preserving product integrity.
Customizable Sizing: Available in various sizes (00, 0, 1–4) and shapes (oval, oblong) to accommodate diverse drug formulations.
Moisture Resistance: Acts as a barrier to protect moisture-sensitive drugs from degradation, extending their shelf life.
Taste Masking: Conceals bitter drug flavors, improving patient compliance—particularly useful for pediatric or geriatric medications.
3. Applications
Solid Drugs: Encases tablets, pellets, and powders to ensure precise dosing (e.g., vitamins, antibiotics).
Controlled Release: Utilizes graded gelatin (slow-dissolving types) to enable timed drug release, enhancing treatment efficacy.
