Licap Technology
A breakthrough in capsule technology designed exclusively to hold liquid formulations, enhancing bioavailability and stability while protecting sensitive ingredients for superior therapeutic outcomes.
Innovative Liquid Delivery System
A Liquid Capsule (Licap) is a specialized two-piece hard-shell capsule designed exclusively to hold liquids rather than powders. These capsules are hermetically sealed to prevent leakage, enhancing stability and ensuring precise dosing of active ingredients in liquid form.
Unlike traditional capsules, Licap Technology can encapsulate oils and solutions, making them ideal for ingredients that are difficult to process as powders or require enhanced bioavailability.
Superior Formulation Flexibility
Accommodate a wide range of liquid-based active ingredients including oils, lipophilic compounds, and sensitive materials.
Enhanced Ingredient Protection
The hermetically sealed design protects sensitive ingredients from oxygen and moisture.
Improved Bioavailability
Liquid formulations are more readily absorbed, resulting in faster onset of action and enhanced therapeutic effects.
Precise Dosing
Each capsule contains an exact amount of active ingredients, ensuring consistent dosage delivery for reliable outcomes.
Key Benefits

Better Absorption and Fast Effects
Liquid capsules help your body absorb nutrients faster and more effectively, especially for ingredients like omega-3, CoQ10, and vitamins A, D, E, and K.
Protection for Delicate Ingredients
Liquid capsules protect sensitive ingredients, like essential oils, probiotics, and herbal extracts, from air and moisture, keeping them fresh and effective.
Easy to Swallow
Liquid capsules are smooth, easy to swallow, and don't leave a bad taste. They're a great choice for people who dislike regular pills or powders.
Flexible and Accurate Dosing
Liquid capsules can combine different types of ingredients in one dose. Each capsule has an exact amount, ensuring you get a consistent dose every time.
Convenient and Long-Lasting
Liquid capsules are portable, don't need refrigeration, and offer extended shelf life. The outer shell also helps cover any strong tastes, making them easy to take.
Visual Appeal
The transparent capsule shell allows for visible colored liquid contents, offering aesthetic differentiation and brand recognition opportunities.
