Benefits of Softgels
As a mature dosage form, soft capsules have a high degree of recognition and acceptance among consumers, especially in the field of health products and pharmaceuticals. Major brands around the world widely use this form for a variety of nutritional supplements. Soft capsules are often considered a high-quality and efficient choice.
Storage Stability: Compared with liquids or powders, soft capsules are more stable under conventional storage conditions and are easy to store for a long time, reducing the need for special storage conditions.
Covering Odor and Taste: Many active ingredients may have unpleasant odors or tastes. Soft capsules can effectively seal these odors or tastes inside to prevent users from feeling uncomfortable when taking them.
Better Absorption Effect: Soft capsules can encapsulate oil-soluble and fat-soluble ingredients, such as vitamin D, vitamin E, fish oil, etc. These ingredients have higher solubility in oils and fats, and can be absorbed faster and more effectively after entering the human body, improving bioavailability.
Precise Dosage: Each softgel contains a precise dose, eliminating the uneven dosage issues that can occur in powder or liquid dosage forms.
Good Sealing: The shell of the soft capsule has good sealing, which can effectively isolate oxygen, light and moisture, protect the active ingredients inside from oxidation or degradation, and extend the shelf life of the product. The shelf life is longer than that of conventional pills, liquids and powders.
