A pleasant chew with the power of a pill

Gummy caps is a new delivery form combining the benefits of capsules and gummies, with a soft, tasty shell, and liquid or pasty filling for highly accurate dosages of active ingredients. They can be produced using SiMoGel, Rousselot’s innovative gelatin solution for starchless confectionery production. An appealing, effective, safe, versatile, and easy-to-formulate delivery format, gummy caps is a perfect delivery form for today’s nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products.

To satisfy today’s consumers, you need to offer variety in your delivery formats, with customers prioritizing taste, convenience, and efficiency. These consumers trends are contributing to the growing popularity of chews and gummies. In order to help manufacturers tap into this growth, Rousselot has developed an innovative and exciting delivery format for today’s nutraceutical and pharmaceutical ingredients: the gummy caps.

Gummy caps combine the benefits of capsules, soft gels, and gummies in a single delivery format. Created with Rousselot’s SiMoGel in an innovative, starchless process, the shell of the gummy cap is soft and tasty, while the center can be filled with a liquid or pasty filling. A versatile format, gummy caps can be used to deliver a broad range of active ingredients, from nutritional solutions to OTC products.
