Apart from the astonishing growth and current value of Empty Capsules in the Human Health and Welfare industry, it is also necessary to understand the properties and differences between Gelatin Capsules and Vegetable Capsules. Let's take a look at each of these capsule types.
Gelatin capsules consist of gelatin made from collagen of pork or bovine origin. Cowhide is considered one of the best options as it enables the capsules to be Kosher and Halal certified to meet the religious and dietary needs of a wider range of consumers.
Gelatin capsules are commonly used in the global market. Their most notable features are:
1) The most commonly used capsule type in the pharmaceutical industry.
2) Flexible options for various formulations and applications.
3) Add custom fragrances, which can mask the unpleasant smell and taste of capsule medicines.
4) Recognized as "Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS)" for human consumption by most of the world's regulatory agencies.
5) No genetically modified ingredients, completely natural, and free of allergens.
6) Significant cost-effectiveness: The production cost of gelatin capsules is at least 30% lower than other alternatives.
HPMC Vegetarian Capsules, as the name suggests, these capsules are made from 100% plant-based materials, including hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. HPMC capsules do not contain animal-derived ingredients; they have developed about 30 years ago in search of an equally effective alternative to hard gelatin capsules.
Their most notable features are:
1) Provide health-conscious consumers with a 100% plant-derived natural alternative to animal-derived capsules.
2) Ideal for individuals with religious dietary restrictions.
3) Provide the ability to solve today's API challenges and the need for rapid product development.
4) Can withstand high temperature and high humidity conditions, protecting their contents from various fluctuations; this makes them ideal for hygroscopic formulations.
