At Chr. Hansen, we know that the solutions we offer must be as unique as the customers we serve. We provide a wide range of dosage forms and packaging options for our customers to choose from, enabling easy creation of the perfect probiotic product.
The probiotics we create can be used across a variety of distinct dosage forms, enabling you to select the best solution that meets the unique needs of your consumers.
Dosage forms
The dosage forms include the following:
- Powder blends for infant formula: These probiotic powder blends are produced in adherence with the highest quality standards and can be easily incorporated into recipes for infant formula.
- Oil drops: Probiotic oil drops are ideal for delivering probiotics to infants. The oil drops are precisely dosed using the built-in dropper and can be stored at room temperature. Our oil drops are designed for easy and convenient use and only require a bit of shaking before use. Oil drops feature a clean label and are packaged in amber glass bottles to protect delicate strains from light.
- Powder: Probiotic powder is a water-soluble dosage form that can be easily mixed into a favorite food or beverage for direct consumption. Powders are ideal for consumers of all ages and can be especially beneficial for those who may have trouble swallowing pills.
- Capsules: Vegetable-based capsules of probiotics are available in multiple sizes including 00, 0, 1 and 3. We also offer options for delayed-release capsules, as well as clear, colored and titanium oxide-free options. Capsules are meant to be an easy-to-swallow dosage form that maximizes probiotic survivability throughout the stomach.
- Chewable tablets: Chewable tablets are available in a variety of flavors for children and adults. Standard tablets are round, but they can be created in a number of different sizes and forms for producers seeking something different.
- Lozenges: We also offer a lozenge form for products focused on oral health. Lozenges provide a convenient way for consumers to take their daily probiotics on the go.
- DryCap shots: DryCap shots offer a serving each of liquid and probiotics, where each is stored separately in a bottle and aluminum blister packaging.
