Are HPMC empty capsules suitable for individuals following a vegetarian or vegan diet?

Update:16 Sep 2024

HPMC empty capsules are very suitable for individuals who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. HPMC, Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose is a hollow capsule made from plant-based material hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose with appropriate excipients. Its pure plant-based nature means that it does not contain any animal ingredients, thus meeting the dietary requirements of vegetarians and vegans.
In addition, HPMC empty capsules also have various advantages, such as low moisture content and high toughness, which can meet the filling needs of high hygroscopic drugs, especially suitable for filling traditional Chinese medicine drugs. At the same time, as an inert material, it does not contain amino acid substances, which can avoid cross-linking reactions with drugs and ensure the stability and safety of drugs. These characteristics make HPMC empty capsules widely used in the pharmaceutical industry and accepted and trusted by vegetarians and vegans.
In summary, HPMC empty capsules not only comply with the dietary principles of vegetarianism and veganism, but also have various excellent properties, making them an ideal choice for medication for vegetarians and vegans.
