These capsules were developed in response to consumer demand for a vegetarian subsitute to gelatin. They offer much of the same functionality, whilst meeting alternative dietary and cultural needs.

 

Capsugel's Vcaps

 

VCaps are two-piece capsules made from HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose).

This material is plant based and therefore suitable for those wishing to avoid gelatin.

 

Vcaps® capsules are the long-established, vegetarian capsule in the world - meeting the needs of a wide variety of health-conscious consumers. With both KO and OU Kosher and Halal certification, and certified by the Vegetarian and Vegan Action Society, they are an appealing way to address the preferences of an important growing group of supplement users who indicate that vegetarian source is important in their decision making. Vcaps capsules are non-GMO Project verified, gluten-free and preservative-free—a clean-label product.

Vcaps capsules offer stable and robust performance for a wide range of food supplements. They are ideal for herbs and botanicals, minerals and combination ingredients, as well as hygroscopic ingredients such as mushroom powders and moisture sensitive probiotics and enzymes.
