Capsugel Introduces DRcaps for Liquid-Fill Applications

Capsugel has developed a technology that makes its vegetarian, acid-resistant DRcaps hard capsules suitable for liquid-fill applications. As a result, Capsugel’s customers can now bring the benefits of DRcaps capsules—including resistance to stomach acid and taste/odor-masking—to liquid-based dietary supplements.

Capsugel’s DRcaps capsules are made of an innovative vegetarian polymer that slows down capsule opening after swallowing, effectively masks the unpleasant tastes and odors of certain ingredients, and reduces the aftertaste caused by such ingredients as garlic—all without the need for shellac coatings. As a result, the capsules have gained a strong appeal for customers seeking optimal delivery of acid-sensitive ingredients.  

Because of their acid-resistant properties, DRcaps capsules are ideally suited for highly acid-sensitive supplements—including probiotics, enzymes and certain sports nutrition ingredients—which work best in the intestines. To bring these same properties to liquid-filled capsules, Capsugel is combining its new vegetarian banding technology with its proprietary liquid-fill platform. This combination is what enables, for the first time, a fully vegetarian, acid-resistant capsule for liquid-filled products. This capability will initially be available to Capsugel’s global customers through the company’s Dosage Form Solutions facility in Greenwood, SC.
