In the health and nutrition industry, softgels (soft gelatin capsules) are one of the most widely used dosage forms in dietary supplements and pharmaceutical products. Softgels provide accurate dosage, easy swallowing, taste masking, high bioavailability, and strong protection for sensitive fill materials such as oils, suspensions, and functional ingredients.
Behind every stable softgel production line, gelatin is the key raw material that directly impacts capsule appearance, sealing performance, production efficiency, and long-term storage stability.
As a professional gelatin manufacturer in China, Foodmate specializes in gelatin for soft capsule manufacturing and long-term application development, supplying global softgel factories, nutraceutical brands, pharmaceutical companies, and international trading partners.

4. Key Advantages of CapGel™ Gelatin for Softgel Manufacturing
Excellent Film-Forming Performance
CapGel™ gelatin provides stable viscosity and smooth solution flow, supporting uniform film formation. This improves capsule appearance, shell gloss, and overall production consistency.
Reliable Gel Strength and Elasticity
Proper gel strength and elasticity ensure strong sealing performance and stable capsule shells. This reduces leakage risk and improves resistance to deformation during storage and transportation.
Strong Compatibility with Common Fill Materials
CapGel™ gelatin is compatible with most oil-based fills and suspension systems. It helps reduce migration and interaction between shell and fill, improving shelf-life stability and reducing brittleness over time.
