Gelatin capsules remain one of the most widely used dosage forms in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. Their fast dissolution, reliable sealing, and compatibility with automated filling machines make them an ideal solution for powders, granules, and herbal extracts.
At Vsun Medical, we manufacture pharmaceutical-grade empty gelatin capsules designed for consistent performance, stable production, and global regulatory compliance.
Pharmaceutical Gelatin Capsules with High Bioavailability
One major advantage of gelatin capsules is their ability to dissolve quickly in gastric fluid, allowing the active ingredients to be released efficiently. This rapid disintegration improves bioavailability compared with many traditional tablet formulations.
Our gelatin capsules are engineered for:
- Pharmaceutical formulations
- Nutraceutical supplements
- Herbal extracts
- Probiotics and vitamins
Because gelatin has excellent elasticity and sealing ability, it helps protect sensitive ingredients during storage and transportation.
Key Features
- Fast dissolution for improved absorption
- Compatible with automatic capsule filling machines
- High mechanical strength and sealing reliability
- Customizable colors and printed capsules
- Pharmaceutical-grade raw materials
Capsule Sizes & Technical Specifications
Standard capsule sizes range from 000 to 5, allowing manufacturers to select the optimal dosage capacity. Size numbers decrease as capsules get smaller, with 000 being the largest and 5 the smallest.
Commonly used sizes include:
- 00– widely used for supplements
