Capsugel has unveiled a new liquid delivery system under the Licaps brand for sustained release, targeted release and co-release products in one package. A consumer can now take one capsule that offers preferred timing and delivery of individual elements of the formulation. One new product format places beads within a liquid-filled capsule. The liquid dose is designed to offer quick release of an ingredient while the beads provide for a controlled or delayed time release. The thickness of the bead’s coating can be changed so that some beads dissolve as soon as the capsule ruptures, while other beads dissolve later. Another design features a liquid capsule within a capsule, which can combine multiple ingredients with different release profiles in a single dosage, including incompatible ingredients that must be delivered at different times and places in the body for optimum impact.
