Why Choose Hard Capsules?

A versatile supplement format with practical advantages for your formulation and consumers.

Convenient to Take
Hard capsules enclose the ingredients in a smooth shell, providing a familiar format for consumers who prefer swallowing supplements rather than chewing them.

Suitable for Powder Formulations

Hard capsules are well suited to many dry powders, granules and ingredient blends, making them an option for a wide range of nutritional supplements.

Consistent Fill Quantity

Controlled filling processes help deliver a consistent quantity of formulation in each capsule, according to agreed product specifications.

Taste and Odour Masking

The capsule shell helps limit direct contact with the ingredients during consumption, which can make formulations with strong tastes or odours easier to take.

Choice of Capsule Shells

Gelatin and suitable plant-based capsule shells can be considered according to your target audience, formulation and product positioning.

Flexible Product Development

Capsule size, shell composition, appearance and ingredient combinations can be explored according to dosage, compatibility and manufacturing requirements.

Hard capsules have a separate body and cap and are commonly used for dry formulations. Soft capsules have a one-piece sealed shell and are commonly used for oils, liquids and compatible suspensions. The appropriate format depends on the ingredients and product requirements.

OEM hard capsule manufacturing generally involves producing a supplement according to a brand’s agreed formulation or specifications. ODM manufacturing includes support with developing the product concept and formulation. The scope is agreed for each project.
