Empty delayed-release capsules

A delayed release capsule is a specialized pharmaceutical form designed to release its active ingredient(s) at a time later than immediately after ingestion. This delay is achieved through a coating or a capsule shell that resists the acidic environment of the stomach.

Capsuline's Delayed Release Empty vegetarian capsules, a novel form of HPMC capsules, offer protection for dietary supplement ingredients against gastric acid. This innovation reduces costs and additional testing typically required for acid-resistant properties in the manufacturing process, aligning with the concept of extended release capsules.

• Controlled release mechanism.
• Guaranteed protection of ingredients.
• Enhanced bioavailability ensuring optimal absorption
  Reduced gastrointestinal irritation.
• Improved stability of encapsulated contents.
• Made without phthalates, to serve both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications

Enteric coated empty capsules are designed to withstand stomach acid and release their contents in the intestines, primarily to protect the medication from stomach acidity and prevent stomach irritation.
Delayed release empty capsules, on the other hand, are engineered to control the timing of the medication's release at specific points in the digestive system, not just to bypass the stomach's acidic environment. This allows for a more precise release schedule, which can be crucial for maintaining consistent drug levels in the bloodstream or aligning with the body's natural processes.

Based on our proprietary analysis, our extended release capsules typically break down within an average time of 30 minutes. The exact duration may differ based on the stomach pH of each individual.
