For high-value formulas, a simple delay isn't enough. Compare the 30-minute protection of Delayed Release capsules with the 2-hour "True Enteric" shield, and find the perfect Size 4 component for your CIC(Capsule in capsule) innovation.
1. The Science of Protection: Not All Capsules Are Equal
In the Private Label industry, "acid resistance" is often used as a broad term. However, for formulators dealing with live probiotics or sensitive enzymes, the difference between a 30-minute delay and a 2-hour shield can determine the success or failure of a product. At EEK, we focus on the technical nuances of shell performance to help you choose the right delivery system.
2. The Comparison: Delayed Release(DR) Capsules vs. Enteric-Coated Capsules
Understanding the dissolution profile is key to establishing your brand's technical authority.
• H-Caps® DR (Delayed Release):
The Mechanism: Built-in acid resistance using HPMC and gellan gum.
Performance: Typically stable for 30 minutes in pH 1.2 gastric fluid.
Ideal For: Standard supplements where a short delay is sufficient to avoid minor stomach irritation.
• EEK Enteric (Intestinal Targeted):
The Mechanism: A specialized enteric coating applied to the shell surface.
Performance: Superior protection with ≥120 minutes (2 hours) of acid resistance.
Ideal For: Extreme acid-sensitive ingredients that must reach the intestinal tract fully intact for maximum bioavailability.
3. The CIC Factor: The Strategic Use of Size 4
While the technology applies to all sizes, the Size 4 capsule is the preferred "inner chamber" for Capsule-in-Capsule (CIC) systems.
• Innovation: Its compact size fits inside Size 00 or 0 shells, enabling dual-release formulations.
• Precision Manufacturing: Whether you choose DR or True Enteric for your Size 4 inner shell, EEK ensures the precise dimensions required for seamless automated filling.
4. Global Logistics: Seamless DDP Delivery
