Ensure the protection of acid-sensitive nutraceutical ingredients in a liquid format.
Our designed release liquid-filled HPMC capsules leverage our Capsugel® LEMS® fusion technology to reduce the risk of leakage during production and on the shelf.
We offer a broad combination of customizations.
Our liquid-filled DRcaps® designed release capsules protect sensitive ingredients against stomach acid, releasing ingredients approximately 45 minutes after a standard gelatin-based capsule1.
Why choose Capsugel® LEMS® fusion technology?
Liquid-filled formulations in Hypromellose (HPMC) capsules have historically required banding to seal, which brings a higher risk of leakage both during production and on the shelf.
Thanks to proprietary Capsugel® LEMS® fusion technology, our designed release liquid-filled capsules feature a greater seal zone between the capsule’s cap and body, offering greater leak-, clump- and tamper-resistance.
Designed release liquid-filled capsules also protect against humidity for increased product stability and a longer shelf life.
