Modern capsule technologies have evolved beyond passive carriers into active components of sophisticated drug delivery strategies. Capsugel® Enprotect® capsules exemplify this shift, offering a next-generation enteric delivery solution designed to protect acid-sensitive APIs and enable targeted release in the small intestine. This review article in the European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences examines the changing landscape of capsule design, highlighting Capsugel® Enprotect® capsule’s bi-layered, coating-free approach. Drawing on recent clinical and preclinical data, the publication highlights how Capsugel® Enprotect® capsules support reliable, site specific oral drug delivery for peptides, proteins, and microbiome-based therapies. These advances position Capsugel® Enprotect® capsule as a robust alternative to traditional enteric coating approaches.
