What are softgels?

Softgels are also known as soft capsules. They consist of liquid filled in a gelatin sheath. That is why, the soft gelatin capsules are thicker as compared to the hard capsules and thus, require some additional ingredients like glycerin or sorbitol to obtain a soft texture.  

Softgels uses

• Suitable for liquid and semi-solid fillings.
• Are used to deliver a range of pharma substances and formulations.
• Utilized for a wide range of nutritional supplements like omega-3 fish oils, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, etc.
• As softgels are easy to swallow, most consumers prefer to use them.

Why should softgels be preferred?

• They offer the same value to consumers as their hard capsule counterparts.
•  Use of gelatin- a dry colourless powder used in the food and pharma industry. Gelatin is easy to dissolve in the human body.
• Gelatin further makes swallowing easy for consumers.
• The different capsule colours and sizes used for softgels help consumers to easily differentiate between the drug and the formulation inside.

Manufacturing of Softgels

Several methods are used for the manufacturing of softgels:-

1. Plate process
2. Rotary die process
3. Accogel process
4. Reciprocating the die process
5. Bubble method (Seamless process).

Types of softgel capsules

There are various types of softgel capsules as explained below:

• Water-based softgels – They comprise a water-based liquid filled in a gelatin shell. They are the most commonly produced softgel capsules. These are employed for vitamins and minerals that are not water-sensitive.

• Oil-based softgels – They consist of an oil-based liquid inside the gelatin-made outer shell. For water-sensitive items like Vitamin E, and fish oil, these oil-based capsules are employed. Also, the items that need to be protected from the oxidation process are packaged in oil-based softgel capsules. One such example is omega-3 fatty acids.

• Lyophilized softgels – As the name suggests, the lyophilized softgel capsules contain a powder inside a gelatin sheath. The powder is freeze-dried, then the water is removed from it. This is done to enhance the capsule’s stability. Mostly, moisture-sensitive items require these types of capsules. Lyophilized softgel capsules are needed for some enzymes as they are very sensitive to environmental conditions and probiotics.

• Enteric-coated softgel capsules – This refers to a specific coating that stops the breaking down of a capsule in the stomach. The coating slowly dissolves in the small intestine and releases the active substance contained in it. Such softgel capsules are used for medicines like ibuprofen and aspirin that react negatively with the stomach acid. 

• Sustained-release softgel capsules – The active ingredient contained in these capsules are released gradually over time. This is useful for medicines that are to be taken every day at a specific time. These capsules are employed for blood pressure medicines, painkillers, cholesterol drugs, and medicines alike.

What Are The Storage Requirements Of Soft Gel Capsules?

The soft gel capsules are stored in a cool & dry place & during climate change, they preserve the quality and stability in shelf life. The softgel storage condition is ranged between 15°C to 25°C and kept away from direct sunlight, humidity, and heat exposure because these climate conditions enhance the chances of spoiling capsules’ packaging, such as blister pack containers, which maintain product integrity during warehouses, distribution. Lifevision Healthcare strictly follows the recommended softgel storage requirements that ensure the best quality of product reaches manufacturers or distributors to ensure regulatory compliance or commercial brand value.
