Softgels
Softgel capsules are a widely used dosage form in dietary supplements, valued for their convenient format, ease of swallowing and versatility. They are commonly chosen for formulations where taste and odour masking are important, and where flexible product design is required.
Softgels are often perceived by consumers as a premium dosage form compared to some other supplement formats.
