Why Choose Vegetarian Capsules

Plant-based vs. Gelatin Capsules

Embracing the Plant-Forward Movement

The number of Americans who adhere to a vegan diet increased 600% from 2014 to 2018 for reasons that include animal welfare, environmental impact and media influence. It’s imperative, with this significant shift in consumer mindset, for manufacturers to adapt and explore the benefits of vegetarian capsules — for consumers and the industry as a whole.

Ethical & Environmental Consideration

HPMC Capsules

Avoid BSE “mad cow disease” risks and sidestep concerns linked to gelatin capsules

Gelatin

World Health Organization (WHO) has shown skepticism of animal-based capsule solutions

 

Plus, vegetarian capsules are compliant with Halal and Kosher requirements, appealing to various cultural and religious demographics.

Non-Toxic & Non-Digestible

HPMC Capsules

HPMC is non-toxic and non-digestible, passing through the body without adverse effects

Gelatin

Animal-based gelatin can cause swelling and digestive issues

 

 

Ethical & Environmental Consideration

HPMC Capsules

Uses less energy and water

Gelatin

Violates animal welfare standards, while vegetarian capsules avoid the animal exploitation associated with gelatin production

 

Temperature and Humidity Stability

HPMC Capsules

Highly resistant to variations in temperature and humidity, ensuring product stability & quality

Gelatin

Falter under extreme conditions

 

Lower Bacteria Growth

HPMC Capsules

Reduced tendency for bacteria proliferation

Gelatin

Organic nature & proteins are more susceptible to bacterial and microbial growth

 

Extreme temperatures and pH conditions during the gelatin manufacturing process should ensure the sterility of the product, though quality-control testing suggests bacteria may persist.
