Capsule formulation refers to the process of creating medication or supplement doses in a capsule form. Capsules are typically made from gelatin or plant-based materials and can contain powders, granules, or liquids. This method allows for precise dosing and can mask unpleasant tastes, making it easier for patients to take their medications. Capsules can be designed to release their contents in specific ways, such as immediate release or delayed release. This versatility makes them suitable for various applications, including pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. The formulation process involves careful consideration of ingredients to ensure stability and effectiveness.
