Liquid-Filled Hard Capsules

Enhanced Bioavailability for Lipophilic Ingredients

Liquid-filled hard capsules (LFHC) represent a superior delivery system for oil-based and lipophilic ingredients. By encapsulating liquid formulations in a traditional hard capsule shell, this technology offers improved bioavailability, precise dosage control, and enhanced stability compared to traditional softgels or powder-filled capsules.

Key Benefits

Improved Bioavailability

Liquid formulations can enhance the absorption of poorly soluble active ingredients, making them more effective at lower dosages.

Clean Label Appeal

Liquid-filled hard capsules require fewer excipients and additives, supporting clean-label positioning for health-conscious consumers.

Formulation Flexibility

Suitable for a wide range of ingredients including oils, self-emulsifying systems, suspensions, and semi-solid formulations.

Stability Advantages

Liquid fills can protect oxygen-sensitive ingredients and reduce oxidation compared to powder formulations.

Suitable Ingredients

Omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil, algae oil), Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin D3, Vitamin E, CBD and hemp extracts, Herbal oil extracts, Curcumin and botanical extracts, Essential fatty acid blends, Custom oil formulations.
