The Consumer-Preferred Solution
The vegetarian option your market demands
Vegetarian society-certified, Kosher-certified and vegan approved, DRcaps® capsules offer an appealing solution for vegetarian-aware consumers – about 35%* of the population and those with cultural or dietary requirements. This key market is known to take more supplements than the general population and to prefer supplements from vegetarian sources without solvents and other unnatural ingredients.
Supplement benefits without the aftertaste and smell
By protecting against early disintegration, DRcaps® capsules reduce the potential for unpleasant odors, aftertaste and reflux from supplements such as garlic or valerian root. In addition, consumers prefer capsules because they consider them easier to swallow and gentle on the stomach.

- Promote greater comfort for consumers who take certain ingredients such as garlic or valerian root
- Leverage “new and improved” labeling for retail differentiation
