GLOBAL INNOVATION PARTNERSHIP WITH CATALENT TO DEVELOP DELAYED-RELEASE FORMULATION OF OMEGO FISH OIL - Seite 2

OptiGel DR capsule technology was launched by Catalent in 2020 and offers innovators an opportunity to formulate products in a patient-preferred softgel dosage form with a delayed-release profile that offers many advantages, including protecting active ingredients that may be degraded by acid in the stomach and releasing those active ingredients directly in the intestines where they are absorbed, potentially enhancing bioavailability. The technology also preserves the clarity of the capsule, which is important for HBC to showcase the distinctive colour of OmeGo fish oil, as well as retaining the characteristic ease of swallowing that consumers associate and prefer with softgel dose forms.
