You’re working with a natural protein substance derived primarily from collagen. Pharmaceutical gelatin<\/strong><\/span><\/a> comes from specially processed collagen extracted from bovine or porcine sources. The material undergoes rigorous purification and standardization to meet strict pharmaceutical requirements.<\/p>

The composition typically includes:<\/p>

– Type A gelatin (acid-processed) or Type B gelatin (alkaline-processed)<\/p>

– Purified water<\/p>

– Preservatives (when necessary)<\/p>

– Colorants (if required)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Types of Gelatin Capsules<\/strong><\/h3>

You’ll encounter three main types of gelatin capsules in pharmaceutical applications:<\/p>

  1. Hartgelatinekapseln<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ol>

    These two-piece capsules give you flexibility in filling operations and are ideal for powders, granules, and small pellets. Available in sizes ranging from 000 (largest) to 5 (smallest), they offer you various capacity options.<\/p>

    1. Weichgelatinekapseln<\/b><\/strong><\/li><\/ol>

      When you’re working with liquids, oils, or suspensions, these one-piece sealed capsules provide excellent containment and stability. They can be manufactured in various shapes and sizes to meet your specific needs.<\/p>

      1. Modified Release Capsules<\/b><\/strong><\/li><\/ol>

        These specialized capsules allow you to control the release profile of your active ingredients through various mechanisms, including enteric coating or modified shell composition.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
