An Excellent Option for Probiotic Encapsulation

Our delayed-release hard two-piece capsules are the perfect solution for encapsulating probiotics. With their delayed-release design, these capsules safeguard probiotic strains, allowing them to bypass the harsh stomach environment and reach the intestines, where they can flourish and offer maximum benefits to the digestive system.  

They also ensure the quality and effectiveness of your probiotics by offering a dependable delivery method. As a bonus, they improve the absorption of probiotics by supporting intestinal health.

Main Characteristics of Delayed-Release Capsules

How do our delayed-release capsules stand out from traditional immediate-release capsules?

The primary feature of delayed-release capsules is their controlled release mechanism.

These capsules are designed to release their medicine contents in a gradual and controlled manner, typically after a specific period or in a specific part of the digestive system.

One of the main advantages they offer is the ability to protect sensitive or reactive ingredients from the harsh acidic environment of the stomach. By delaying the release until the capsule reaches the intestines, where the pH is less acidic, the ingredients are better preserved and can be more effectively absorbed.

Delayed-release capsules also contribute to enhanced bioavailability

by ensuring that the active ingredients are released at the optimal site for absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. This can improve therapeutic health outcomes as the body can make better use of the encapsulated substances. 

Some ingredients may cause irritation or discomfort in the stomach. Delayed-release capsules can help mitigate this by releasing their contents into the intestines, minimizing the potential for gastrointestinal irritation. 

In addition, the delayed-release technology contributes to the stability of encapsulated substances.

This can be particularly useful in the case of formulations containing sensitive compounds, such as probiotics, enzymes, or certain drugs that may degrade in the stomach’s acidic environment. 

As for individuals who experience discomfort taking immediate-release formulations, delayed-release capsules offer a more comfortable option as they can be easier on the stomach and digestive system.

For manufacturers, delayed-release capsules can be a game-changer.

They are versatile and can be used in various applications, including pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and dietary supplements.

This versatility makes them an attractive option for formulators seeking innovative dosage forms. It also offers manufacturers greater flexibility to customize the release profiles of delayed-release capsules. They can thus control precisely when and where the contents are released, catering to the specific needs of different formulations and optimizing therapeutic effects. 

Dissolution

Our patented analysis shows that our delayed capsules typically need an average of 30 minutes to dissolve. The exact breakdown dose duration may vary based on the stomach pH of each individual.
