WHAT ARE VEGETARIAN CAPSULES?

The clean-label choice for modern supplement formulation

Empty vegetarian capsules, also called veggie capsules or vegan capsules, are two-piece shells made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) or pullulan, both 100% plant-based materials with no animal-derived ingredients. Capsuline's empty vegetarian capsules are the preferred choice for brands targeting vegan, vegetarian, and clean-label markets.
