Hypromellose capsules, often called vegetarian or plant-based capsules, are widely used in pharmaceuticals, supplements, and nutraceuticals. Made from hypromellose (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a cellulose derivative, these capsules offer a gelatin-free alternative, ideal for vegans, vegetarians, or those with dietary restrictions. Their neutral taste, odorless nature, and compatibility with diverse formulations make them a popular choice. Hypromellose capsules are commonly used to encapsulate dry powders, granules, or semi-solid fills in medications, ensuring precise dosing and easy digestion. They dissolve efficiently in the gastrointestinal tract, releasing active ingredients without interfering with bioavailability. These capsules are also favored for hygroscopic or moisture-sensitive substances due to their low water content, preventing degradation. In supplements, they house vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, and probiotics, catering to clean-label preferences. Hypromellose capsules are stable across varying temperatures and humidity levels, making them suitable for global distribution. Their smooth surface allows easy printing for branding or dosage identification. In clinical trials, they serve as placebo capsules, matching the appearance of active drug capsules to maintain study integrity. Additionally, their suitability for enteric coatings or modified-release formulations expands their use in specialized drug delivery systems. Hypromellose capsules meet strict regulatory standards (USP, EP) for safety and quality, ensuring compliance in pharmaceutical manufacturing. With rising demand for plant-based and allergen-free products, these capsules continue to gain traction as a versatile, ethical, and reliable encapsulation solution.
