Liquid Filled Hard Capsules

Our liquid-filled hard capsules offer superior absorption, fewer additives, and cleaner formulations—making wellness simpler, safer, and more effective with every dose.*

What Are Liquid-Filled Hard Capsules?

Liquid-filled hard capsules are a modern advancement in pharmaceutical and nutritional delivery systems. They combine the strengths of both softgel and traditional hard capsules:

  • Soft capsules are typically used for oils and liquid extracts.
  • Hard capsules are usually filled with powders or granules.

Liquid-filled hard capsules bridge the gap by allowing liquid or semi-liquid formulations inside a rigid, transparent shell, delivering both performance and aesthetic appeal.

Forms They Can Contain:

  • Pure liquids: Single or blended oils
  • Suspensions: Powders evenly dispersed in liquid
  • Semi-solids: Viscous extracts processed with heat
  • Solid-liquid combinations: Liquids combined with pellets, mini-capsules, or tablets

Key Advantages for Health Supplements

1. Enhanced Bioavailability

Liquid-based ingredients are often absorbed more efficiently than powders or tablets—especially important for:

  • Fat-soluble nutrients (e.g., Vitamin D, Vitamin E)
  • Herbal extracts (e.g., turmeric, CBD)
  • Essential oils and omega fatty acids、

2. Simpler, Cleaner Formulations

Compared to tablets or softgels, liquid-filled hard capsules:

  • Require fewer excipients or additives
  • Avoid synthetic fillers, preservatives, and plasticizers
  • Align well with organic and clean-label standards

3. Versatile & Customizable

These capsules support a wide range of ingredients, including:

  • Heat-sensitive compounds
  • Natural oils
  • Combination blends of liquids and solids
    They offer flexible options for innovative product development

4. Eco-Friendly Manufacturing

Unlike softgels, the production process:

  • Requires fewer processing agents and lubricants
  • Produces less oily waste
  • Is simpler and more environmentally friendly

5. Visual Appeal & Tamper Evidence

Their transparent shell allows consumers to see the contents inside, increasing trust and curiosity.

Optional colored sealing bands can:

  • Serve as branding accents
  • Act as tamper-evident features

Applications in the Health Supplement Industry

Liquid-filled hard capsules are ideal for:

  • Fat-soluble vitamins (D, E)
  • Herbal oils and extracts (e.g., turmeric oil, evening primrose, krill oil)
  • Essential fatty acids (omega-3, 6, 9)
  • Probiotics needing stability in a controlled liquid medium

They also protect sensitive ingredients from heat, moisture, and oxygen—a major concern in preserving the potency of natural supplements.

The Future of Supplement Delivery

Liquid-filled hard capsules represent the next generation of supplement delivery—offering:

  • Superior absorption
  • Cleaner labels
  • More sustainable manufacturing
  • Flexible product innovation

As consumers demand products that are effective, natural, and trustworthy, liquid-filled hard capsules are becoming the preferred choice for both brands and health-conscious shoppers.
