DRcaps® Capsules

Certain release properties can help give your products an added edge and the vitality needed to spur growth. But adding this product feature can be challenging. DRcaps® capsules are innovative HPMC capsules that can help protect dietary supplement ingredients from stomach acidity* without the cost and complexity of adding acid-resistant properties during manufacturing. DRcaps® capsules can also help mask taste and odor and reduce bad aftertaste without the addition of costly coatings.

DRcaps® capsules can be customized with titanium dioxide free colors to obtain a transparent, semi-opaque or fully opaque effect. 

Capsugel® DRcaps®  capsules offer dietary supplement makers a dosage form with significant consumer and manufacturing appeal – a vegetarian capsule with unique properties that can slow down capsule opening after swallowing*:

• Reduce the manufacturing cost and complexity of adding acid-resistant properties to oral dosage forms
• No need to add chemicals, solvents or other coated protection, allowing for a shorter product development cycle than tablets
• Low moisture capsules help protect ingredients that are sensitive to moisture and acid*
• Masks taste and odor and minimizes risk for reflux in a consumer-preferred dosage form
• Certified Vegan, Non-GMO, Vegetarian Society, Halal and Kosher certifications
