Softgel Manufacturing

Softgels encapsulate oil and fat-soluble ingredients as a liquid fill, improving convenience and an absorption-friendly image.This guide covers what to know when producing softgel supplements via OEM — shell composition, suitable ingredients, size/content, and regulatory points.

Ingredients that suit softgels

Softgels are well suited to oil and fat-soluble ingredients such as omega-3, vitamin D, and CoQ10, held as a liquid fill.Ingredients hard to compress as powder, or those with odor or oxidation concerns, can be sealed inside the shell for a better experience.

  • Strong fit for oil/fat-soluble ingredients (omega-3, fat-soluble vitamins)
  • Shell seals off odor and oxidation-prone ingredients
  • Smooth, easy-to-swallow surface with consistent content

Shell selection (gelatin vs. plant-based)

Shells are broadly gelatin (animal-based) or plant-based (starch/carrageenan family).For vegan/halal positioning, consider a plant-based shell; choose by clarity, elasticity, and cost.Also confirm shell–fill compatibility (moisture, pH).

Size, content & stability

Softgel size is driven by the liquid-fill volume inside the shell.A high target content makes the capsule larger and can reduce swallowability, so balance content and size.Functionality must be expressed only within the scope recognized by regulators; claims asserting disease prevention or treatment cannot be used.

Getting started

Organize your target ingredients, desired content, and volume, then request a quote — you'll receive a shell/formulation direction suited to the softgel form and an estimated timeline after review.

Frequently asked questions

Can you make vegan softgels?

A plant-based shell (starch/carrageenan family) allows vegan-oriented softgels to be considered; fill compatibility is confirmed together.

Which ingredients suit softgels?

Oil/fat-soluble ingredients such as omega-3 and fat-soluble vitamins are especially advantageous; powders may suit hard capsules or tablets better.

How is capsule size decided?

The larger the liquid-fill volume, the larger the capsule; size is designed considering target content and swallowability together.

Are odor-prone ingredients possible?

The shell helps seal ingredients to reduce odor and oxidation; a shell and stability review matched to the ingredient is needed.
