Vegetarian Capsules

Genex Bio-Tech is one of the professional organic vegetarian capsules manufacturers and suppliers in China. Welcome to buy the bulk capsules for sale with the size 1 or size 00 from us.
In the past, all capsules were made of gelatin. Even vegetarians in those days have taken gelatin capsules simply because they are the only ones available then. But with the increased awareness about the consequences of eating animal products, and the growing market for vegetarian products, many manufacturers are now producing different kinds of vegetarian capsules. The first vegetarian capsules are actually made of HPMC, another material by which veggie capsules are made of is pullulan which is produced from starch made by the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans. These organic plant alternatives to animal-based gelatin are ideal for making edible coating and blends well with moisture sensitive substances.

Vegetable based capsules or made of Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose or HPMC, which is a semi-synthetic inert material consisting of purified water and plant fiber-or cellulose.

This makes the vegetable capsule 100% plant-based, non toxic, 100% animal-free, Kosher, Halal, and Vegetarian. It’s also friendly to patients on gluten free diets.

Vegetable capsules are plain and straight forward. There is no guess work when using them. You don’t have to worry about what animal the gelatin came from, how the animal died, what part of the animal they used, whether the animal was carrying any diseases. You do not have to wonder whether the vehicle that carries your medication into your body is going to cause you any additional problems, and so on.

All the benefits of vegetable capsules make them a more expensive capsule than gelatin capsules but in my opinion, their benefits far out-weight their higher price.

There are two slant holes in trimming place through the lock ring and guide ring, called an exhaust hole.

The right method to take capsule

The right way to take empty capsule: take a cup of 100 to 200 ml water and the temperature should be proper. The patients should stand or sit when to take capsules . Firstly, patients drink a mouthful of water and then put the two-piece capsule in the mouth, and drink a sip of water, swallow  gelatin capsules with water. Patients should not excessively bend or look up. Patients should better drink the remaining water, ensuring that the capsule rush into the stomach.

1. Get drugs from formal channels.

There are so many "poison gelatin capsule" events happen.

2. Not apart the two-piece capsule into two piece.
Gelatin Capsule has the ability to enhance the stability of drugs, to protect the digestive tract and respiratory tract from targeted drug directly stimulate and slow-release medicine effect etc. .Once get rid of the capsule shell, It may cause the medicine efficacy reduce, and increase the side effects.
3. Should not take capsules shell with hot water.
Most ingredients are gelatin capsule shell , in the cold water the capsule will slowly dissolve and become soft. But in the hot water it can rapidly melt and dissolve. If taking capsule shell with hot water, the empty capsule shell is easy damaged, the drug will be released ahead of time. So the medicine efficacy and safety will be influenced. therefore, the capsule drugs should take with cool water (but not too cold) or warm water properly.
4. Should not swallow capsules directly .
Swallow capsules directly may prevent capsules quickly into stomach, and the hollow capsules are likely to adhere to the esophagus, causing mucosal damage and even ulcers.
