Fish oil soft capsules are a common health product that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial to

There are many benefits to human health. There are many brands of fish oil soft capsules on the market, and they all look good. So, how are fish oil soft capsules produced?

First of all, the production of fish oil soft capsules requires the following steps:

1. Fish oil extraction: Fish oil is extracted from fish bodies, usually by distillation or pressing.

2. Mixing: Mix the extracted fish oil with other ingredients, such as gelatin, glycerin, water, etc.

3. Soft capsule manufacturing: Inject the mixed liquid into the soft capsule and then seal it, usually using a rotary sealing machine.

4. Packaging: Pack the sealed soft capsules, usually in aluminum foil bags or plastic bottles.

The above is the basic production process flow of fish oil soft capsules. 

Let’s introduce the specific operation of each step in detail.

1. Fish oil extraction

Fish oil is usually extracted by distillation or pressing. The distillation method is to extract the fish oil from the fish body through high-temperature distillation. The fish oil extracted by this method has higher purity, but the cost is also higher. The pressing method is to extract the fish oil from the fish body through mechanical pressing. This method is cheaper, but the purity of the extracted fish oil is lower.

2. Mix

Mix the extracted fish oil with other ingredients such as gelatin, glycerin, water, etc. these ingredients

The proportion needs to be determined according to the product formula, and it usually requires multiple tests to determine

Best recipe.

3.Soft capsule manufacturing

The mixed liquid is injected into the soft capsule and then sealed, usually using a rotary seal machine. This kind of machine can perform liquid injection and sealing operations at the same time, and is highly efficient.

4.Packaging

The sealed soft capsules are packaged, usually in aluminum foil bags or plastic bottles. These packaging materials

Materials need to have certain properties such as moisture-proof, anti-oxidation, anti-ultraviolet, etc. to ensure the quality of the product.

In general, the production process of fish oil soft capsules is not complicated, but the quality of each step needs to be strictly controlled to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the product. At the same time, manufacturers also need to comply with

Relevant laws and regulations, such as GMP certification, etc., to ensure product quality and safety.

Are fish oil soft capsules produced by a brand manufacturer?

Not necessarily. Some brands are very strong. Due to time cost factors or technical factors, etc., the brand owners will choose to outsource and hand over these production rights to supplement manufacturers with high production technology and specializing in the production of fish oil soft capsules. This can save a lot of expenses and a considerable amount of resources, so that brand owners can use the saved funds to invest in the areas they are good at and obtain higher profits.

Brand owners can choose two models when entrusting supplement manufacturers to process and produce fish oil soft capsules.

1.Contract manufacturing

For brand owners with formulas, most choose this model, which is conducive to improving the utilization of existing resources on a larger scale, promoting the refinement of the industrial chain, and conducive to the specialization and scale of the industrial chain.

2. Private label manufacturing

This model is somewhat limited, because the initiative in production lies with the supplement manufacturer. The brand owner only needs to provide the brand, and some can customize some simple quantities, packaging, etc., and can also choose some white label products, so that the initiative The rights are a bit greater. You can design your own packaging and create completely your own products.

In summary, the manufacturing and production of fish oil soft capsules requires relatively high manufacturing levels. When choosing a supplement manufacturer, choose a strong processing company to minimize the risk of loss.
