100% Plant-Based Capsules
HPMC (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose or hypromellose) is the primary material used to form the shell of plant-based capsules. HPMC is a derivative of cellulose, a natural substance found in the cell walls of plants. It is widely used in dietary supplement formulations due to its remarkable properties and safety for health. This cellulose derivative offers excellent capsule or tablet-forming capabilities, providing an effective alternative to traditional gelation agents of animal or synthetic origin.
One of the key advantages of HPMC is its biodegradability, making it an environmentally friendly choice compared to other coating materials. Moreover, unlike some HPMC capsules available on the market, those that are 100% free from additives like carrageenan and PEG provide a purer formulation, minimizing the risk of introducing undesirable components into the final product.
By using HPMC as an excipient, the THERASCIENCE Laboratory ensures not only the safe and effective delivery of the product but also addresses consumers' growing concerns regarding quality, safety, and sustainability.
