Why is GELITA® Gelatin the best material for capsules?
For many pharmaceutical applications, GELITA® Gelatine is indispensable for decades. Although mostly used for hard and soft capsules, GELITA® Pharmaceutical Gelatine is also essential for many other applications. It’s a binder in tables and acts as matrix in vitamin coating. Low endotoxin gelatins are the basis for plasma expanders, vaccines and haemostatic sponges.
CAPSULES: MOST POPULAR FORM OF DRUG
Gelatin capsules are among the most popular dosage forms for drugs, over-the-counter products and nutritional supplements. Consumers appreciate the smooth surface of capsules that makes them easy to swallow—an important aspect of patient compliance. Gelatin itself is also highly compatible with other ingredients, is non-allergenic and comprises proteins that are easily digested in the gastrointestinal tract, which facilitate the release and absorption of active ingredients.
GELITA LEADING SUPPLIER
In particular, it’s the film forming ability, thermo-reversible gelation properties and adhesive behavior that make GELITA® Gelatin so versatile. With outstanding innovations such as the patented RXL® portfolio for reduced cross-linking, GELITA has set new standards in stability and dissolution for gelatin capsules. As a leading supplier of all types of gelatin, GELITA offers also Kosher and Halal variants.
