SoftgelsSoftgel (soft gelatin capsules) are manufactured as a one piece, hermetically sealed shell wall filled with oils and non-aqueous liquids or solids in a paste or solution form. The shell is made in a manner to give softgels a unique strength and durability; protecting the inner fill material from the atmospheric oxidation that may compromise the potency and shelf life of other oral dosage forms.
Viva is the largest manufacturer of soft gelatin capsules in western Canada. With its state-of-the-art equipment, the company is capable of producing more than 6 billion softgel capsules annually.
