Some of the most beneficial supplement ingredients, such as enzymes and probiotics, require protection from the stomach’s harsh acidity. Enteric coating tablets are our precision solution for this challenge. Our expertise at Bactolac ensures a controlled-release delivery system, guaranteeing that your formulation reaches the small intestine intact for maximum bioavailability and reduced gastric discomfort.
The enteric film we apply is a specialized polymer that is insoluble at the low pH found in the stomach. We carefully formulate this coat to dissolve only when it encounters the higher, neutral pH of the small intestine. This process requires exact material selection and application techniques to create a flawless barrier that remains impervious until the point of targeted delivery, fulfilling the goal of true controlled release.
Beyond delivering functional ingredients, enteric coating provides crucial consumer benefits. It prevents ingredients known to cause irritation, such as certain fish oils, from breaking down in the stomach and causing acid reflux or “burping.” Our coatings are essential for ensuring both ingredient integrity and a comfortable, positive user experience, which ultimately drives brand loyalty.
The success of an enteric tablet hinges on uniform coating thickness across every single batch. Our advanced tablet manufacturing equipment and automated spraying systems ensure unparalleled consistency. We maintain stringent quality checks throughout the coating process to guarantee that every tablet has the exact barrier needed for predictable and reliable delayed release, a measure critical for product efficacy.
As a cGMP-certified facility, our quality control is focused on verifying the release mechanism. We perform mandatory tests to confirm that the tablet does not disintegrate in simulated gastric fluid (low pH) and only begins to dissolve at the required time in simulated intestinal fluid (higher pH). This critical testing confirms the enteric coating is working exactly as specified, meeting the highest regulatory standards.
Our specialized knowledge in manufacturing enteric coating tablets removes the uncertainty from developing complex formulations. By trusting Bactolac with your project, you gain a partner who prioritizes both formulation integrity and regulatory compliance.
