Capsule production refers to the process of creating small containers, typically made from gelatin or plant-based materials, that hold medications or supplements. These capsules are designed to dissolve in the stomach or intestines, allowing for the controlled release of their contents. The production process involves mixing active ingredients with excipients, filling the capsules, and then sealing them. The manufacturing of capsules can be done using various methods, including hard capsules and soft capsules. Hard capsules are often used for powdered substances, while soft capsules are suitable for liquids. Quality control is essential in capsule production to ensure safety, efficacy, and consistency in each batch.
