　　A brief introduction to the advantages of HPMC capsules

　　★ Pure natural concept, improve digestion and absorption.

　　★ Low water content, 5%-8%. Strong anti-hygroscopicity, the contents are not easy to agglomerate, and the capsule shell is not easy to deform, become brittle, and harden.

　　★ No risk of cross-linking reaction, no interaction, and high stability, because hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is a cellulose derivative, there is no risk of cross-linking reaction of protein substances in gelatin.

　　★ Low requirements for storage conditions:

　　It is almost not brittle in a low humidity environment, has good stability under high temperatures, and the capsule body does not deform.

　　★ Unified standards and good compatibility:

　　Applicable to the national pharmacopeia standard, the shape, size, appearance, and filling method are equivalent to gelatin hollow capsules, no need to replace equipment and parts.

　　★ Non-animal origin, no potential risk of accumulated growth hormones or drugs left in animals.

　　Different from traditional gelatin capsules, HPMC capsules are made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) from wood pulp. In addition to the advantages of the pure natural concept, hydroxypropyl methyl hollow capsules can also enhance protein, fat, and carbohydrates It has the technical advantages and characteristics that traditional gelatin hollow capsules do not have.
