Some Ingredients Perform Better in a Softgel
Not every supplement belongs in a powder-filled capsule or tablet.
For many oil-soluble ingredients, a softgel provides a delivery format designed around liquid and oil-based formulations.
Softgels Are Ideal For
- Fish oil and omega-3 supplements
- CoQ10 formulations
- Vitamin D and Vitamin E
- Botanical oils
- Other non-aqueous liquid actives
Why Brands Choose Softgels
Built for Oil-Based Ingredients
Softgels are designed to encapsulate non-aqueous liquid and oil-based formulations that aren't suited to traditional powder-filled capsules.
Supports Bioavailability
For many oil-soluble ingredients, a liquid-fill format can be an important formulation consideration when developing a finished product.
Protects Sensitive Ingredients
Proper formulation, encapsulation, and packaging help support product quality by considering oxidation, light exposure, and shelf stability throughout development.
Professional Retail Presentation
Available in oval, round, and oblong formats, softgels provide a familiar, premium dosage form for many supplement categories.
A Partner That Helps You Get It Right.
Softgels require specialized manufacturing capabilities that many supplement manufacturers simply don't offer. Developing a successful softgel requires more than filling a gelatin shell.
From formulation and fill development to encapsulation and finished production, we'll help you build a product that's designed for performance, quality, and long-term success.
Here's How We Help
Formulate for Manufacturing
Whether you have a finished formula or an idea that's still in development, we'll help prepare your product for production.
We support:
- Custom softgel formulation
- Formula review and optimization
- Oil-based and non-aqueous fills
- Fish oil, CoQ10, vitamin D/E, and botanical oil formulations
Precision Encapsulation
Every softgel should deliver consistent quality.
Our manufacturing process is designed around:
- Fill-weight accuracy
- Consistent encapsulation
- Non-aqueous fill systems
- Gelatin shell compatibility
Protect Product Stability
Sensitive ingredients require careful planning before production begins.
We'll help evaluate:
- Oxidation considerations
- Light exposure
- Shelf stability
- Packaging requirements
Manufactured in the USA
Unlike suppliers that simply source finished products, our custom softgels are formulated and filled domestically in the United States.
That means you work directly with your manufacturing partner—from formulation through finished production.
We'll Help You Build Your Softgel Supplement
Whether your formula is complete or you're starting with a product concept, our formulation team helps prepare your product for successful manufacturing.
Because building a great softgel starts long before encapsulation.

Why Formulation Matters
A successful softgel isn't just about choosing the right ingredients.
It's about ensuring your formulation, fill system, gelatin shell, and manufacturing process all work together before production begins.
By combining formulation and manufacturing under one roof, we help reduce costly revisions, improve production efficiency, and move your product toward launch with greater confidence.
Know Where Your Softgels Are Actually Made
Not every company selling softgels manufactures them.
Many suppliers source finished softgels from overseas and resell them under their own brand, leaving you with little visibility into where your product was actually formulated or filled.
At ACF Pharma, it's different.
Our custom softgels are formulated and filled in the United States, giving you a direct manufacturing partner from formulation through finished production.
Why That Matters
- American-made softgels, formulated and filled domestically
- Direct access to your manufacturing partner, not a reseller
- Greater visibility into your production process
- cGMP-certified, FDA-registered manufacturing
- Third-party testing and Certificate of Analysis (CoA) provided per batch
When your name is on the label, knowing who manufactured your product and where it was manufactured, matters.
That's why brands looking for a true U.S. manufacturing partner choose ACF Pharma.
