Vegetarian Portfolio: How to Choose the Right Vegetarian Capsule?
The choice of the right capsule for a supplement depends on a mix of factors. The first step to finding the right solution is to explore the technical considerations of the product. Is the supplement moisture- or heat-sensitive, acid- or oxygen-sensitive? Is odor an issue? Does the supplement need to dissolve quickly in the stomach, or slowly in the digestive tract?

The following table breaks down which capsules are best fitted for which needs.
Capsugel offers the broadest product line of vegetarian capsules to fit the unique characteristics of supplements and the necessities of consumers.
Technical Considerations
The second step is to consider your product’s marketing needs. Who is the target group? Are you seeking to address a very demanding consumer seeking the most premium natural products? Do you want to extend an existing product line in order to improve its convenience for the consumer (e.g. no reflux)? Is organic labeling desired, and if so, in which regions? Do you want to target any particular religious groups? Can choosing a unique dosage form help you achieve market differentiation?
Marketing Concerns
By keeping these factors in mind, finding precisely the right pure, plant-based capsule from Capsugel’s wide-ranging product portfolio is easy. Whichever you choose, Capsugel stands ready to leverage more than 100 years of experience and know-how to provide optimal guidance, resources, and tools in developing formulations, setting the supply chain, and providing the technical support to optimize performance of filling machines.
