Capsugel Products Capsugel has a long-term history of providing the dietary supplement market with innovative products. With two-piece capsules renowned for their high quality performance, the company remains true to its heritage today, offering new products in response to marketplace demands. Capsugel's tradition of technological innovation continues with the introduction of Licaps, two-piece capsules that are specially-designed for use with liquid and semi-solid formulations. The Licaps capsule, in combination with a liquid fill, provides an appealing and viable dosage form. The LEMS sealing technology, which provides for non-banded sealing, is patented by Capsugel. Licaps are available in hard gelatin and vegetarian capsule options. Mindful of the overwhelming, positive trend towards healthier lifestyles and with an eye on emerging trends, Capsugel has premiered a line of vegetarian capsules - Vcaps and NPcaps - both of which are preservative-free and which retain all the advantages of standard two-piece capsules. Vcaps plant-based capsules, manufactured with HPMC, are an attractive dosage form and have a low moisture content, allowing Vcaps to withstand temperature extremes and which make the capsule ideal for water-sensitive fills. NPcaps plant-based capsules are formulated with pullulan and offer high performance machineability, crystal clear appearance and low oxygen permeability for oxygen-sensitive formulations.
