Hard capsules are containers consisting of two previously produced cylindrical parts which are rounded and closed on one side and open on the other. The hard capsules can be filled with powdered substances or solid particles, e.g. pellets, miniticaps, microcapsules, or they are filled with a paste consistency. Filling is done by placing the filling in one part of the capsule, which is then closed by sliding the other part over it. The closure can be additionally secured. The capsule should be made in such a way that it cannot be opened without damage, which prevents the contents from being tampered with, and for this purpose snap-on capsules are formed.

Soft capsules are one-piece and are available in different shapes. They have thicker casings than hard capsules. They can be formed, filled and closed during one manufacturing process, but the casings themselves can also be formed earlier. In addition, the casing material may contain an active substance. Liquids may be sealed in the capsules and the solids are usually dissolved or suspended beforehand to obtain a solution or suspension of paste consistency and placed in the capsule. The soft capsule casing is usually soft and flexible, but can also be hard. Soft capsules can be filled with solutions, suspensions and emulsions or pasty masses. These capsules are not suitable for filling with aqueous solutions, as this dissolves the capsule.

Yes, we produce supplements for vegans and vegetarians. All ingredients used in the product are properly certified and do not contain substances not permitted in the vegan or vegetarian diet. In addition, we use 100% vegetarian capsule in the production of the capsule. Such capsules are made from HPMC (hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose). HPMC may come from tree fibres or cotton fibres.

We have beef gelatine capsules (100% BSE free), pork gelatine capsules and fish gelatine capsules.

Intestinal capsules are delayed release capsules that are resistant to gastric juice. This type of capsules releases the active substance in the intestinal juice. They are usually made by filling the capsules with granules or particles that are coated with a gastric juice-resistant coating or, in certain cases, may be soft or hard capsules with a gastrointestinal casing.

Extended release capsules are modified release capsules. These are hard or soft capsules, the filling and/or casing of which contains special auxiliary substances or is prepared in a special way so as to modify the rate, place or time of release of the active substance.
Modified release capsules include: extended release capsules and delayed release capsules.

The most commonly used capsule size is "0". A "0" size capsule can hold a certain amount of substance. This depends on the type of filling. In the case of plant substances, it can hold a maximum of about 500 mg, and in the case of heavy minerals, about 600 mg.
In our offer we also have capsules in size "00", where the maximum amount of filling is about 800 mg, depending on the raw material, and capsules in size "000", where the maximum filling capacity is about 1.5 g, depending on the type of filling. We also have capsules 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, which we use mainly for probiotics.

Probiotics are lactic acid bacteria and prebiotics are substances that support the growth of their natural intestinal microflora. Popular prebiotics are inulin and fructooligosaccharides (FOS), which are found in wheat, garlic, onions and bananas. The best results are obtained by combining both groups. Preparations combining probiotics and prebiotics are called synbiotics.
