Versagel™

Meet our vegetarian softgel technology, Versagel^TM, a versatile option for the encapsulation of high viscous, semisolid or high pH fill contents

Since its beginnings, vegetarian soft capsules were promoted as products offered to religious, ethnic or groups with dietary restrictions which avoid the consumption of animal-based materials. Besides these reasons, the chemistry of the polymer materials used in their manufacturing results in a product with certain advantages over the conventional soft gelatin capsules.

Materials currently used are non-ionic polymers, mainly carbohydrates that are low reactive and therefore stable. Some of them have applications as packing materials due to its mechanical resistance and barrier properties. Since these are non-charged polymers, they are more stable than proteins at extreme pH values and moderate ionic strengths.
