Empty Vegetarian Capsules
Made of hypromellose (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, or HPMC), these empty vegan capsules are specifically designed for oral pharmaceutical applications where gelatin capsules are not the optimal solution for encapsulation. For example, as empty HPMC capsules have an equivalent dissolution profile to gelatin capsules, they are better suited for hygroscopic products and formulations that may react chemically with gelatin. For those following Kosher, Halal, or other dietary restrictions these are both vegetarian and vegan capsules. The empty capsule vegetarian do not undergo any changes in physical and chemical performance throughout its 5-year shelf life; all parameters meet the required specifications during stability studies.
