Industry Knowledge Extension

HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose) empty capsules are a type of pharmaceutical or dietary supplement capsule. They are also known as vegetarian or vegan capsules because they are made from plant-based materials and do not contain gelatin, which is derived from animal sources.

HPMC capsules are typically made from two primary ingredients: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a semi-synthetic polymer derived from cellulose, and water. These capsules are free from animal by-products, making them suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
HPMC capsules come in various sizes, ranging from 000 to 5, with 000 being the largest and 5 being the smallest. They are available in a wide range of colors, allowing for easy identification and product branding.
HPMC capsules are used in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and dietary supplement industries to encapsulate various substances, including vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, probiotics, and other powdered or granulated ingredients.

Vegetable HPMC capsules are made primarily from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, which is a semisynthetic polymer derived from cellulose. It's considered safe for consumption and is suitable for various dietary preferences and restrictions.
These capsules are available in various sizes and colors to meet different product needs and branding requirements. Common sizes include 00, 0, 1, and 2, with clear and opaque options for colors.
HPMC capsules have controlled dissolution properties. The rate at which they dissolve in the digestive tract can be adjusted during the manufacturing process, making them suitable for various formulations and drug release profiles.
Vegetable HPMC capsules are often used as an alternative to gelatin capsules. Gelatin capsules are derived from animal collagen and may not be suitable for vegetarians or people with dietary restrictions.
These capsules are compatible with a wide range of ingredients, including powders, granules, and semi-solid materials. They are also less likely to interact with the contents inside compared to some other capsule materials.
Vegetable HPMC capsules are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory authorities in many countries. They meet the requirements of various pharmacopeias and quality standards.
HPMC capsules are less susceptible to moisture compared to gelatin capsules, which can be an advantage in certain applications, especially when dealing with hygroscopic substances.
The shelf life of these capsules is typically longer than that of gelatin capsules due to their moisture resistance.
The manufacturing process for HPMC capsules involves the use of HPMC, water, and optional colorants. The ingredients are mixed, formed into capsules, and then dried.
