Firstly, compared to gelatin capsules, plant capsules have a single raw material and are also safer. Plant capsules are derived from plant fibers, which are controllable, highly traceable, and have no risk of animal borne infectious diseases or other harmful substances.
Secondly, the moisture content of plant capsules is ≤ 8.0%, which is very low. Suitable for various drugs and health products, it has a good protective effect on highly hygroscopic and moisture sensitive contents.
Reduced the risk of drug hygroscopicity.
HPMC capsules have an expiration date of up to 60 months and require low storage and transportation conditions.
Not easily brittle under low humidity conditions (35% RH, brittle rate ≤ 2%).
Not easily deformed in high temperature environments (80 ℃, capsule change rate ≤ 1%).
However, ordinary gelatin capsules have an expiration date of only 24 months and need to be stored and transported in a relatively constant temperature and humidity environment. Easy to soften and deform in high temperature environments.Easy to break under low temperature conditions. It is prone to dehydration and hardening in low humidity environments.
Due to the lack of protein in the raw materials of plant capsules, the necessary conditions for bacterial survival and reproduction are lost, and the raw materials themselves also have antibacterial effects.So plant capsules have better antibacterial properties. HPMC has strong chemical inertness, so capsules made from it have no risk of cross-linking reactions and have more significant pharmacological effects.
Finally, plant capsules are accessible products that cater to all cultural backgrounds and religious beliefs, enhancing the market acceptance of customer products. And obtained Muslim HALAL certification, Halal KOSHER certification, and vegetarian association certification.
