Our solutions
Custom hard capsule formulation
Multiple sizes to match your needs
We offer custom capsules from size 00 to size 4, enabling precise dosing tailored to each formulation. Our formats provide the flexibility needed to design dietary supplements that meet technical specifications while guaranteeing quality, performance, and active ingredients stability.
A secure and protective capsule shell
The quality of the capsule shell is a key pillar for the stability and performance of your formulations. We offer a complete range of traditional shells in bovine or marine gelatin, as well as plant-based options made from HPMC or pullulan, along with enteric-coated or targeted-release capsules. Thanks to these advanced technologies, sensitive ingredients such as probiotics or extracts fragile at certain pH levels can pass through the acidic environment of the stomach and be released directly in the intestine, thereby optimizing their bioavailability and viability.
Available packaging options
Our hard capsules can be packaged in blisters, pillboxes, and doypacks depending on the needs of your market.
