Delayed-Release Technology: Why Delivery Matters

This page describes the capsule only. It does not make claims about where in the body ingredients are released, how quickly, or about any health effect.

About Bile and the Small Intestine

Bile is released into the duodenum, the first section of the small intestine, where it emulsifies dietary fats.

About DRcaps® Capsules

DRcaps® capsules are made by Lonza. They are made from HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) and are designed to slow capsule opening. This page does not provide data on release timing, and no release time is claimed for Gallavance.

The Gallavance Approach

Both Gallavance Original and Gallavance Plant-Based are supplied in DRcaps® HPMC delayed-release capsules designed to slow capsule opening. Each serving is three capsules. See the Supplement Facts panel on each product for ingredients and amounts.
