FNP Pharmaceutical Gelatin: Essential for Capsule and Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

What Is Pharmaceutical Gelatin?

Pharmaceutical gelatin is a high-purity biomaterial derived from animal collagen, primarily sourced from bovine or porcine skins. It undergoes strict processing to meet the high standards required by the pharmaceutical industry, making it ideal for use in drug formulations.

 

FNP Gelatin manufactures pharmaceutical-grade gelatin that adheres to rigorous biocompatibility and biodegradability. This ensures our gelatin is both safe and effective for use in pharmaceutical applications.

Why Pharmaceutical Gelatin Is Critical for the Pharmaceutical Industry

Pharmaceutical gelatin is a key ingredient in drug delivery systems, providing structure and stability to capsules, tablets, and other pharmaceutical products.

 

The unique properties of FNP pharmaceutical gelatin—such as film-forming capability, thermal reversibility, and the ability to form stable gels—make it indispensable for creating precise, effective drug formulations.

 

  • Ideal for Capsule Formation: Pharmaceutical gelatin is used to create hard capsules and softgel capsules that contain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), ensuring controlled release and targeted delivery.
     
  • Controlled Drug Release: The gelatin’s solubility and viscosity characteristics help control how drugs are released into the body, enhancing their therapeutic effects.
     
  • Improved Bioavailability: Gelatin ensures the bioavailability of active ingredients by facilitating absorption and aiding in the protection of sensitive compounds.
     

 

Common Applications of Pharmaceutical Gelatin

Pharmaceutical gelatin is versatile and widely used in various drug delivery formats. The primary applications include:

  • Hard Gel Capsules
     
    • Used for controlled release of active ingredients and ease of swallowing. Ideal for supplements, vitamins, and prescription medications.
       
  • Soft Gel Capsules
     
    • Used for formulations that require precise dosing of liquids, oils, or powders, and are ideal for vitamins, nutritional supplements, and some pharmaceutical products.
