HPMC capsules, also known as hypromellose capsules, are plant-based capsule shells designed for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products. Compared with traditional gelatin capsules, they offer lower moisture content and improved stability for moisture-sensitive ingredients.
Vsun Medical manufactures vegetable capsules derived from natural plant cellulose, making them suitable for vegan, vegetarian, and religious dietary requirements.

Capsule Sizes and Capacity

The most commonly used sizes in nutraceutical manufacturing are:

Manufacturers often choose these sizes because they provide a good balance between dosage capacity and ease of swallowing.
