Qualicaps introduces Nutra’V Extra Dry capsules, designed to safeguard hygroscopic ingredients like probiotics, herbal extracts, and vitamins

In the ever-evolving nutraceutical industry, preserving the integrity, stability and efficacy of moisture-sensitive products is critical. With increasing formulations containing hygroscopic ingredients like probiotics, herbal extracts, and vitamins, ensuring optimal storage and delivery has become increasingly important. Qualicaps addresses these challenges with Nutra’V Extra Dry capsules, designed to protect sensitive formulations.

Why Low Moisture Content Matters

Moisture can degrade the potency of ingredients such as probiotics, which rely on a balanced environment, and herbal extracts that are vulnerable to moisture exposure. Vitamins like ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and tocopherols (Vitamin E) also face oxidation due to moisture, reducing their efficacy. Capsules with low moisture content are essential to protect these formulations and ensure product stability and performance.

Introducing Nutra’V Extra Dry Capsules: A New Frontier in Nutraceutical Preservation

Nutra’V Extra Dry capsules, with an ultra-low moisture content of 2.0-3.5%, are specifically designed for moisture-sensitive nutraceutical formulations. These capsules provide an ideal solution for manufacturers aiming to preserve product integrity during storage and use. Unlike traditional capsules that can become brittle in low-humidity environments, Nutra’V Extra Dry capsules remain stable, ensuring the contents’ quality over time.

Ideal Applications for Nutra’V Extra Dry Capsules

Nutra’V Extra Dry capsules are particularly beneficial for formulations containing:

  • Probiotics: These living microorganisms require precise environmental conditions to remain active. Nutra’V Extra Dry capsules create a moisture-controlled environment, helping to maintain their viability.
  • Herbal Extracts: Plant-based ingredients such as curcumin or ginseng can degrade when exposed to moisture, compromising their effectiveness. Nutra’V Extra Dry capsules' low moisture content ensures the preservation of their active compounds.
  • Hygroscopic Powders: Products like magnesium salts or specific amino acids absorb moisture quickly, which can lead to clumping and degradation. Nutra’V Extra Dry capsules an adequate containment to preserve shell water uptake by the formulation.

An Innovative Step Forward

With Nutra’V Extra Dry capsules, Qualicaps sets a new standard in protecting moisture-sensitive nutraceutical products. These capsules offer exceptional performance, helping manufacturers ensure product stability and efficacy.
