The enteric-coated capsule shell is designed for a sensitive stomach. Organic capsule manufacturer HCP offers quality enteric-coated (EC) capsule shells. Go crack an EC capsule shell and it’ll scream quality.
The shell of an enteric-coated capsule has an acid-resistant polymeric film coating. That’s why it is strong enough to pass through the stomach acid alive and disintegrates only in the intestine.
They don’t irritate the stomach lining. In order to be fully eaten by intestinal acid, enteric-coated capsules need an hour or two, which make them ideal for time-sensitive medications.
