Encapsulation Services at “Actilife Nutrition”

Encapsulation of BAA is one of the most in-demand production methods as capsules are preferred by the majority of buyers. Encapsulation is also widely used in the pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetic, and food industries. “Actilife Nutrition” provides encapsulation services for various substances:

vitamins

minerals

ферментів

probiotics

plant extracts

trace elements

With modern equipment, all ingredients are mixed in the correct proportions, ensuring the equal distribution of active substances and their tight sealing within the shell. During supplement intake, the capsule dissolves in the designated organ of the human body, gradually releasing the substances contained in it.

Types of Capsules Used in BAA Encapsulation

The capsules used in our production are certified and meet international standards ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 22000:2018.

Hard Gelatin Capsules (HGC)	Used for powder ingredients. Contains special harmless additives that help maintain the capsule’s intact form. Consists of two parts: the body and the cap.
Hard Cellulose Capsules (HCC)	Vegetarian capsule allows us to produce supplements for people who want to avoid animal products. Excellent replacement for HGC.
LQ-Caps (Liquid Capsules)	Capsules specially designed for liquid fillings. Standard capsule consists of a body and a lid, being completely hermetic. An excellent alternative to the more expensive SGC.
Soft Gelatin Capsules (SGC)	Flexible capsules filled with liquid filler. They have spherical or other shapes, seamless. Convenient to use. Dissolves in the stomach within minutes. Easily absorbed.
Microencapsulated Capsules	Capsules containing micro-particles in a thin shell made of biopolymers. Used for a limited range of preparations when the intake of active substances occurs in very small doses.

Encapsulation for Specific Applications and Sectors

ORAL

Microencapsulated Capsules – capsules reach the stomach and dissolve much faster than tablets, providing better bioavailability of the drug – immediate release and dissolution of the active substance and its entry into the bloodstream.

Intestinal-soluble capsules – capsules with modified release designed to resist gastric juice and release their active substance in the intestinal juice. They are made of hard or soft capsules with an acid-resistant shell (stomach-resistant) or by filling capsules with granules or particles coated with an acid-resistant shell.

Our company “Actilife Nutrition” performs encapsulation using the best hard gelatin and plant-based capsules from Farmacapsulas. It’s the world’s most popular brand of two-piece capsules made from high-quality pharmaceutical gelatin with a wide range of colors, and using both synthetic and natural colorants (without the “E” prefix). Colorants may include beetroot, spirulina, sunflower, and other natural dyes.

Some types of capsules have their own name and purpose:

Tubatins

Special dosage form – soft gelatin capsules with an elongated neck designed for small children who cannot swallow tablets. By biting the neck, the child easily ingests the capsule content.

Spansules

A mixture of microcapsules (microdragees) with a fatty shell and different release times of the drug substances.

Medudis

Hard gelatin capsules containing microcapsules with a film coating.

Actilife Nutrition provides contract encapsulation with a wide range of capsule sizes:

Capsule Size	000	00	0	1	2	3	4	5
Capsule Capacity (ml)	1,37	0,95	0,68	0,5	0,37	0,3	0,21	0,13

Powdered substances;

Granules, granulated powder;

Pellets

Encapsulation Process of BAA or Drugs

Encapsulation is a complex technological process consisting of the following stages:

Recipe development

Selection of capsules of the necessary size according to the volume of the encapsulated substance

Capsule filling

Packaging

Quality control (standardization)

In the encapsulation process, these stages can be combined.

Advantages of BAA or drug capsule forms

For manufacturer

The shell perfectly masks the unpleasant taste, smell, and uneven texture pigmentation of the preparation composition.

The capsule content is reliably protected from moisture and the environment.

Packing powder into capsules allows obtaining a low-cost product convenient for use and sale.

Encapsulation of vitamins allows combining water- and fat-soluble components and vitamins in the BAA composition.

For buyer

Encapsulated vitamins and BAA are better absorbed by the body than compressed tablets.

The capsule dissolves within minutes, making this form easier to swallow compared to regular tablets.

The capsule shell can be easily opened if the consumer plans to make a solution with the powder contained in it or divide the dose of oil or suspension.

The elongated shape anatomically passes through the esophagus more easily. The medicine is simpler to use even for children and the elderly.

Quality Control and Packaging of BAA in Capsules

Encapsulation of medicinal products is fully mechanized and automated, ensuring high accuracy of dose (dosage).

Capsule quality is controlled by the following indicators:

External appearance – smooth surface without damage and visible air and mechanical inclusions

Uniformity of capsule mass and its content

Presence of impurities

Dissolution time

Microbiological purity

Absence of heavy metals

Our company “Actilife Nutrition” can offer the following packaging for capsules:

Blisters

Containers

Jars

Bulk (in bulk)

At the customer’s request, we insert an instruction into the package and put it in secondary wrapping.
