A method for packaging a lipid compound for ingestion by a human or animal body, comprising the following steps:filling (I) a first part of a prefabricated capsule, previously opened in two parts, with a predetermined volume of a lipid compound;introducing (II) a food-grade lipophilic absorbent into the lipid compound (4) within this first part, so as to produce, after absorption of the lipid compound, a core in the form of a pasty mixture providing for a predetermined dissolution rate,closing (III) the capsule by fitting the second part on the first part containing the core; andcoating the capsule thus closed with a polymer, so as to allow subsequent release of the lipid compound at a predetermined release site within said human or animal body.
