ACG, a global manufacturer for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, has unveiled its patented Personalized Capsule Machine (PCM), a groundbreaking technology designed to produce custom-formulated supplement capsules tailored to individual specifications on demand.
Developed over five years, the PCM integrates real-time health data, precision dosing, and automated capsule production to create truly personalized nutritional supplements. This innovation represents a significant advancement in the growing field of personalized nutrition and precision medicine.
