Soft Gelatin Capsules (Soft Gels) offer the possibility of delivering the correct dosage of a liquid in a solid oral form. 

The Soft Gel can therefore contain the active ingredient in solution, suspension or emulsion, which inherently leads to better absorption of the active ingredient, as compared with delivery in either tablet or powder.

Soft Gels are therefore the ideal, and sometimes the only solution for delivery of compounds with a poor oral bioavailability.

Other properties that make Soft Gels a useful & frequently applied dosage format include their aesthetic properties, their 'swallowability', their tamper resistance, their protection of the active ingredient from light and oxidation, their taste-masking of ingredients, and their masking of unpleasant odours of the ingredients.

They are available in various shapes, sizes & colours - oval, oblong, round, tube & suppository, with a wide range of dies available which give unlimited shape possibilities to the product.
