　　When buying Ganoderma lucidum products, many people pay attention to the influence of product ingredients, content, price, and other factors, but have you ever thought about directly contacting these factors when purchasing, such as direct contact with product bottles, powder bags, and eating into the stomach of empty capsule shells, is it safe?

　　Taking empty capsules as an example, it is more convenient and quick to use empty capsule products. However, if the empty capsule shell is toxic or insoluble due to material problems, it will affect the release rate of the drug.

　　What is the difference between a plant empty capsule and a gelatin empty capsule?

　　Plant empty capsules are derived from plant cellulose materials. The main component is medicinal hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC). HPMC capsules are widely used as excipients in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries, and are listed in the US FDA. The Safety Catalogue, US Pharmacopoeia, and European Pharmacopoeia, the basic elements of polysaccharides and plant cell walls, all have the concept of nature.

　　Gelatin empty capsules are made from collagen from animal skin, tendons, and bones. They are proteins partially hydrolyzed from collagen in animal connective or epidermal tissue.

　　Compared with the traditional gelatin hollow capsule, the plant empty capsule has the advantages of wide adaptability, no risk of cross-linking reaction, and high stability. The drug release rate is relatively stable, and there is little individual difference.
