In the health and nutrition industry, softgels (soft capsules) are widely used in dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals. They offer accurate dosage, easy swallowing, taste masking, good bioavailability, and stable protection for the fill materials. Behind every high-quality softgel, gelatin is the key material.
As one of China’s leading gelatin manufacturers, Foodmate focuses on gelatin for soft capsule production and long-term application development. We serve global softgel manufacturers, nutraceutical producers, and trading partners supplying capsule, pharmaceutical, and health product companies. With deep understanding of real production environments and export requirements, we provide scalable, stable, and practical gelatin solutions for different types of customers.
