Enteric coated capsules are designed to resist stomach acid and release their contents only after reaching the intestine. This delayed-release technology protects acid-sensitive ingredients and improves absorption at the targeted site of action.
Vsun Medical manufactures acid-resistant capsules for pharmaceutical, probiotic, and nutraceutical applications requiring controlled release.
Targeted Drug Delivery for Sensitive Ingredients
Certain active ingredients can degrade in stomach acid. Enteric capsules provide a protective barrier that prevents premature release.
These capsules are commonly used for:
- Probiotics
- Enzyme supplements
- Peptide drugs
- Acid-sensitive pharmaceuticals
The capsule shell remains intact in gastric fluid and dissolves in the intestinal environment, ensuring effective delivery.
Key Benefits
- Acid-resistant capsule shell
- Delayed release in the intestine
- Protects sensitive ingredients
- Improved absorption efficiency
- Suitable for probiotic formulations
- Capsule Sizes and Customization
Manufacturing & Compliance
Vsun Medical produces enteric capsules in GMP-compliant facilities using advanced coating technology.
Quality control includes:
- Dissolution testing
- Stability testing
- Batch inspection
These processes ensure consistent delayed-release performance.
A probiotic manufacturer used enteric capsules to protect live bacteria from stomach acid. The formulation maintained higher survival rates and improved clinical effectiveness.
With acid-resistant protection and targeted intestinal release, enteric coated capsules provide an effective delivery system for sensitive pharmaceutical and nutraceutical ingredients.
