How does it work? 

A softgel is an oral dosage form in which a liquid, suspension, or semi-solid fill is precisely encapsulated within a one-piece shell made from gelatin or plant-based polymers.

Manufactured using a continuous rotary die process, softgels offer excellent dose uniformity, enhanced bioavailability for lipophilic actives, and a smooth, consumer-friendly experience.
