Functions
Protecting active ingredients: It can effectively isolate active ingredients from factors such as light, oxygen, and moisture in the external environment, preventing them from being decomposed or deteriorated, and ensuring the efficacy of the contents.
Masking odors and tastes: For drugs or health product ingredients with unpleasant odors or tastes, the capsule shell can mask them well, improving the acceptability of the product when taken.
Controlling release: It can be designed to achieve targeted or sustained release of the contents in specific parts of the human body (such as the stomach or intestine), so as to better play the role of the active ingredients.
