Formulation of oral solid dosage drugs in hard capsules provides many advantages, from the protection of potent or sensitive compounds to unique branding opportunities. Those benefits can only be realized, however, using high-quality empty capsules obtained from a reliable supplier. China's empty safety capsules offer unique benefits compared with other forms of deliveries for solid oral dosage forms (SODFs).

Raw Material Sourcing

Hgcaps has implemented a holistic approach to raw material sourcing for the manufacture of gelatin and Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) capsules. It is essential to have comprehensive knowledge about the sources of the raw materials including traceability back through our suppliers into their supply chains; a significant portion of the raw gelatin supply to Hgcaps comes from its manufacturing facilities.

The raw materials used in the manufacture of capsules include food additives, color additives, and ingredients that are generally recognized as safe. While there are significant overlaps among the regulations in most countries (U.S., UK, EU, Japan, and Canada, for instance) with regard to the use of these ingredients in food supplements and drug products, there are some differences. Staying abreast of these differing and constantly evolving regulations is a key aspect of the Hgcaps quality assurance program.

Clear Traceability

Traceability of raw materials throughout the capsule manufacturing process is essential to ensuring the safety of hard-shell capsules used in SODF products. Hgcaps has a system in place that enables the identification of raw materials used for the manufacture of a specific lot number of capsules. Similarly, given a specific lot number of raw materials, we can identify which capsules were produced using that material and who received those capsules within a few hours.

Capsule Color Selection

Provide 5 samples, which can modulate any color you need. CAPS is a professional Empty Capsules Manufacturers. We offer a vertically integrated supply chain model to ensure reliable long-term supply, complete traceability, and superior quality of raw materials.

Quality Capsules Make Quality Products

Production of empty capsules, whether composed of gelatin or HPMC, requires an understanding of customer requirements, raw material supplier capabilities, and regulatory requirements in destination markets. It also requires a scientific understanding of the design, formulation, manufacturing process, and process capabilities. Only capsule manufacturers with comprehensive quality assurance programs that address all activities from raw material sourcing to production to product release testing can ensure the reliable supply of robust, high-quality capsules.

When sourcing empty hard capsules, therefore, pharmaceutical and supplement manufacturers should look to suppliers, such as Hgcaps, that use qualified suppliers and standardized processes, maintain appropriate documentation and provide clear traceability.
