　　Plant capsules have long been used as empty capsules of medicines and have been widely used in the production and processing of medicines. Medicinal plant empty capsules have a significant effect on alleviating various symptoms of patients and can improve the quality of life of patients. Although plant capsules are widely used and have high safety, people often ask whether there are side effects of plant capsules taken for a long time.

　　Vegetable capsules (also known as halal capsules) are empty capsules made of plant cellulose or water-soluble polysaccharides. The cellulose is 2-hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and short cotton linters or wood pulp are generally used as raw materials. , made by etherification. For example, carrageenan, pectin, agar, sodium alginate, and guar gum are all extracted from plants, and some of their characteristics are the same as animal gelatin.

　　Vegetable capsules are rich in raw materials, such as carrageenan starch, malt extract, various cellulose, alginate, beeswax, etc., and some plasticizers, such as glycerin, sorbitol, maltitol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and water, etc. From the development history of empty gelatin capsules, traditional capsules (animal capsules) were developed in the 1930s and have not become the main packaging form of medicines until today. The research on plant capsules has only been done for 20 years so far. As long as time passes and breakthroughs are made in technology, equipment, and raw materials, plant capsules will have great potential. Because it not only has a wide range of uses but also has better security.

　　Does long-term use of plant capsules have side effects? The results of experimental studies have confirmed that long-term regular use of plant capsules can often achieve twice the result with half the effort, but it should not be taken in large quantities without restraint, otherwise, it is easy to cause abnormalities in the body. Long-term test results have confirmed, after 3 months of long-term use of plant capsules, no obvious toxic or side effects have occurred. It can also be said that plant capsules have better safety!
