Enteric Coated Capsules?
Original post in this thread

I was curious what ND staff or perhaps u/MisterYouAreSoDumb u/NootropicsDepotGuru could help in discussing enteric coated capsules. I have found very limited buying options and very limited study data discussing the effectiveness of of enteric coated capsules. One study claims they are a great cheap alternative to tablet coating. It would make sense, but I still wanted some insights from here.
I was also curious if ND would be willing to provide enteric capsules to its customers that buy powders for making their own pills. I realize the production of something like this would be a very heavy investment, but perhaps some sort of partnership similar to how ND partners and sells patented products like Primavie or other similar products where a third party holds the patent. Not sure how it all compares but at least would like some insights on the capsule's effectiveness compared to regular gelatin and enteric coated tablets. Thanks.
Edit:
I have just noticed the Dynamax capsules are red and white and not clear like the other capsules form ND. Are these enteric capsules…

Out of curiosity.. is it Lonza that has the legit ones?

Yes, I believe Lonza has real enteric coated capsules, but they won't sell them to you without a pharmaceutical manufacturing license. They also have acid resistant ones they will sell to supplement companies, but those dissolve in like 30-45min. Not near what you need for real enteric.

You can see it says they are for drug products.
