DRcaps® Capsules

Change the competitive landscape and deliver results using DRcaps® capsules to help protect your ingredients from stomach acid.

A Solution for Health and Nutrition Products

Certain release properties can help give your products an added edge and the vitality needed to spur growth. But adding this product feature can be challenging. DRcaps® capsules are innovative HPMC capsules that can help protect dietary supplement ingredients from stomach acidity* without the cost and complexity of adding acid-resistant properties during manufacturing. DRcaps® capsules can also help mask taste and odor and reduce bad aftertaste without the addition of costly coatings.

DRcaps® capsules can be customized with titanium dioxide free colors to obtain a transparent, semi-opaque or fully opaque effect.
