Benefits of Softgel Manufacturing
-
Convenient Consumption: Softgels are highly favored for their ease of swallowing and fast-acting nature, making them a preferred choice for many consumers.
-
Effortless Digestion: The gelatin used in softgels is easily digested, allowing the capsules to dissolve quickly in the stomach, ensuring quick absorption of active ingredients.
-
Enhanced Bioavailability: Softgels offer an effective way to deliver precise dosages of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, ensuring that your customers receive the maximum health benefits.
What are Softgels?
Softgels are a type of dosage form consisting of a gelatin-based or cellulose-based shell that encases a liquid fill. Compared to other supplement forms like capsules, softgels are known for their stability and longer shelf life.
Why Choose Softgels?
Consumers prefer softgels for their smooth texture and ease of swallowing, especially in oblong, oval, or round shapes. Since softgel formulas are in liquid form, they are absorbed more quickly into the bloodstream than traditional tablets or capsules. This rapid absorption can provide a key advantage, especially for vitamins and minerals that may be lacking in the typical diet, making softgels an attractive option for both consumers and supplement businesses.
Softgel Manufacturing Options at KWD Ventures
At KWD Ventures, we offer a wide variety of options for softgel manufacturing to suit your needs. Whether you require specific shapes, sizes, or shell colors, we can customize the encapsulation process to meet your product’s requirements. Softgels can be produced with transparent, tinted, or opaque shells, with opaque shells being ideal for light-sensitive formulas. For formulas with unpleasant odors, such as Omega-3 or fish oils, softgels can be scented to mask the smell.
We also offer enteric coating, which ensures that the active ingredients are released only in the small intestine, making it a great choice for sensitive stomachs or products like fish oil that benefit from avoiding a fishy aftertaste. Additionally, softgels can be designed as chewables, with flavored liquids inside, providing a more enjoyable experience for the consumer.
Customization Options
- Color: Transparent, Opaque, Two-Color
- Material: Scented, Enteric Coating
- Appearance: Oval, Oblong
Custom Gelatin Softgels
We provide high-quality gelatin-based softgels that are free from taste, odor, or color, masking the sometimes unpleasant tastes and smells of active ingredients. Our advanced manufacturing process ensures that active ingredients are preserved, preventing oxidation or permeation, and maintaining the product’s effectiveness.
Custom Vegetarian Softgels
As the demand for plant-based options grows, we also offer vegetarian softgels, including pectin-based softgels. These are ideal for vegan and vegetarian customers and are just as versatile in manufacturing options as traditional gelatin softgels. We are expanding our offerings to include more pectin-based formulas, ensuring we meet the needs of all consumers.
Enteric Coating
Our enteric coating technology provides a protective barrier that ensures the active ingredients are only released in the small intestine. This feature is especially beneficial for those with sensitive digestive systems or customers looking to avoid the fishy aftertaste often associated with fish oil supplements. This unique benefit helps position your product as a more appealing option in the market.
Advanced Encapsulation Process at KWD Ventures
The softgel manufacturing process, known as encapsulation, takes place in our state-of-the-art, FDA-registered, and GMP-compliant facilities. After the encapsulation process, the softgels undergo a drying stage to remove excess moisture, allowing the shell to shrink and become more durable. Once dried, your softgels are packaged according to your specifications.
Softgel Packaging Options
We offer a variety of packaging options for your softgels, including:
- PET and HDPE bottles
- Single-dose sachets
- Multi-pack sachets
- Blister packs
As a comprehensive softgel manufacturing provider, KWD Ventures also offers graphic design services for your product packaging. Our in-house designers work closely with you to create eye-catching package and label designs that align with your brand and attract customers. We understand that first impressions matter, and we’re here to help make yours stand out.
Quality Control & Assurance
Ensuring the highest product standards is critical. That’s why we store your softgels in temperature- and humidity-controlled environments, maintaining optimal conditions. Before and after packaging, we conduct rigorous Quality Control testing to ensure your softgels meet all specifications. Our testing includes GMP-compliance checks, as well as microbial and heavy metal testing, ensuring that every batch is safe, pure, and of the highest quality. With KWD Ventures, you can confidently distribute your softgels, knowing they meet the strictest safety and quality standards.
