Protect your ingredients.
Delivering acid-sensitive supplement products can be a challenge for health and nutrition companies. Protecting ingredients from stomach acids to maintain potency is crucial – but it can require complex enteric coating formulations and manufacturing techniques, expensive packaging, and use of solvents many dietary supplement consumers find unacceptable.

DRcaps® capsules are made with an innovative hypromellose (HPMC) formulation that can help protect sensitive ingredients from the low pH environment of the stomach – without the cost and complexity of adding acid-resistant properties during manufacturing. The low moisture level of DRcaps® can also be exploited to accommodate hygroscopic ingredients.

The vegetarian option- your market demands

Vegetarian society-certified, Kosher- certified and vegan approved, DRcaps®capsules offer an appealing solution for vegetarian-aware consumers – about 35%* of the population and those with cultural or dietary requirements.

This key market is known to take more supplements than the general population and to prefer supplements from vegetarian sources without solvents and other unnatural ingredients.

Supplement benefits without the aftertaste and smell By protecting against early disintegration, DRcaps® capsules reduce the potential for unpleasant odors, aftertaste and reflux from supplements such as garlic or valerian root. In addition, consumers prefer capsules because they consider them easier to swallow and gentle on the stomach.

Powerful branding potential to differentiate your products
• Highlight a “promise of performance” for your products with sensitive ingredients
• Promote greater comfort for consumers who take certain ingrediants such as garlic or valerian root
• Leverage “new and improved” labeling for retail differentiation
• Promote your vegetarian solution to fit customer needs
• Create a family of “protected products”

Designed to delay opening for compatible dry supplement ingredients.

DRcaps® are designed to delay shell disintegration compared with standard immediate-release empty capsules. The actual release pattern depends on the filled formulation, storage and test conditions; a particular release location or ingredient outcome cannot be guaranteed for every customer-filled capsule.

DRcaps® capsules disintegration peformance in human subjects.

The study was designed to investigate the in vivo behavior of unbanded DRcaps® capsules using qualitative and quantitative scintigraphic methods to assess the GI transit of DRcaps® capsules and the release of capsule.

contents based on the scintigraphic images obtained.

Each subject consumed a light breakfast approximately 30 minutes prior to dosing a DRcaps® capsule containing 300mg of lactose, 10mg of which was radiolabelled.* Anterior and posterior images were taken after dosing and then every 5 minutes up to four hours post-dose.

Key Study Results
• DRcaps® capsules displayed delayed release properties.
• Disintegration started approximately 45 minutes later than a typical immediate release capsule of about 5 minutes.

• For the majority of subjects, complete release took place in the intestine.
• Complete release occurred 20 minutes after the onset of release.
• DRcaps® capsules significantly reduced opportunity for nutritional ingredient degradation compared with standard immediate release capsules.

we know people like to test, here are the most common mistakes:

1. test in the water, and see it becomes soften, and think that is not acid resistant.

2. test in the mouth, and find it becomes soften, and think it is not acid resistant

soften doesn’t mean leaking , please check our knowledeg centre and find out how capsugel test it the right way .
