HPMC empty capsules can be used to store herbal products. HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose) empty capsules are made from plant-based raw material hydroxypropyl methylcellulose with appropriate excipients, and have the characteristics of pure plant-based sources, which makes them suitable for the medication requirements of vegetarians and people with special beliefs. At the same time, HPMC empty capsules also have the characteristics of low moisture content and high toughness, which can meet the filling of high hygroscopic drugs, especially suitable for filling traditional Chinese medicine drugs. In addition, as an inert material, it does not contain amino acid substances, which can avoid cross-linking reactions or Maillard reactions with drugs, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of herbal products.
In practical applications, HPMC empty capsules have been widely used to load various herbal products, such as Chinese medicine powders. This method can not only improve the taste and ease of consumption of herbal products, but also enhance the bioavailability and stability of the drugs. Therefore, HPMC empty capsules are one of the ideal choices for loading herbal products.
