An enteric empty capsule is a type of capsule that is designed to resist disintegration and dissolution in the stomach. This allows the contents of the capsule to pass through the stomach and into the small intestine, where they are more effectively absorbed. Owing to the coating outside the capsule, the product is widely incorporated in pharmaceutical applications as it is the most common way to achieve acid resistance. The process simplifies drug enteric delivery implementation and allows the ingredients to reach the small intestine for maximum absorption process. Also, the capsules protect the stomach from acidic nature and digestive discomfort. The enteric empty capsules are less likely to cause any gastric side effects such as nausea, stomach upset, and others. The capsules offer better targeted delivery of nutrients to where they are needed most in the human body. Moreover, the products also have longer shelf life than traditional empty capsules.
