Softgel capsule manufacturing for premium supplements
Softgel capsules turn oils, lipophilic nutrients and selected suspensions into an elegant, easy-to-take supplement format that protects the formulation and feels premium from the first touch.
We at 1Q Health develop and manufacture custom softgel capsules for food supplements.
You can choose either classic gelatine softgels or plant-based vegetarian softgels.
Flexible soft capsule solutions for every need
We produce softgels in a broad range of shapes, sizes and colors. Whether you are developing a clear oil softgel, an opaque colored capsule or a more complex suspension, our team assesses the feasibility of your formula and develops a format that works in production as well as on the shelf.
Gelatine softgels are a trusted choice for oil-based and semi-solid formulations. Their soft, flexible shell is pleasant to swallow and offers a polished, premium look.
Vegetarian softgels give brands a plant-based alternative. Made with pea starch, they are suitable for vegetarian and vegan product concepts while maintaining the soft, flexible texture and clear, glossy appearance consumers expect from a softgel. They are also designed for demanding storage conditions.
You can launch even more stand-out sofgel products by selecting one of our innovative solutions such as chewable caps that don’t require water or precision encapsulation of challenging ingredients. Just talk to our team and we will find the right solution for you.
Why choose softgels?
Softgels are especially well suited for:
Oils and oil blends
Such as fish oil, algae oil, MCT oil, evening primrose oil or specialty plant oils.
Fat-soluble vitamins
Including vitamins A, D, E and K, either alone or in combination with an oil carrier.
Lipophilic actives
For example CoQ10, ubiquinol, astaxanthin, curcumin or carotenoids.
Complex suspensions
When a formulation needs finely dispersed active ingredients in an oil-based fill.
Premium beauty, wellness and performance concepts
Where an attractive, convenient format supports a high-value product experience.
Plant-based ranges
With our vegetarian softgel option for vegan and vegetarian positioning.
For consumers, softgels are smooth, easy to swallow and conveniently pre-portioned. For brands, they can protect sensitive fills from exposure to air and moisture, give a product a distinct premium appearance and make oil-based actives simple to use.
Each benefit depends on the individual formula, which is why formulation and packaging should be considered together from the start. As a full-service contract manufacturer, we can take care of your soft capsule project from the development phase to shipment.
