DIFFERENCES BETWEEN VEGETARIAN AND GELATIN CAPSULES

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN VEGETARIAN AND GELATIN CAPSULES

Capsules are known to be the preferred delivery method of medications and supplements. They are quick dissolving, fairly inexpensive, and easy to fill for both home as well as commercial consumption. As opposed to various other delivery methods, substances are not being directly added to the medication or supplement, not compromising their efficacy.

Empty capsules are available for purchase in two distinct categories; the traditional gelatin caps, and vegetarian varieties. While both can potentially serve your needs, it is important to know the differences between gelatin and vegetarian capsules. Understanding the benefits to each type of capsule can allow you to better serve your consumer and their needs.

GELATIN CAPSULES

Gelatin is the original and most common material used to produce capsules. It is the less expensive option, and is available in many options. These capsules can be purchased in various colors and sizes to suit your needs. However, gelatin capsules should not be suitable for some consumers with religious or dietary restrictions.

VEGETARIAN CAPSULES

One of the most obvious advantages of using cellulose based or vegetarian capsules is that they are not made with animal byproducts. Vegetarian capsules in addition to being both the obvious choice for both vegetarian and vegan consumers are also more acceptable for religious reasons as well. In fact, vegetarian capsules are often deemed suitable to be classified as both Kosher and Halal products. These capsules are available in various colors and sizes, and are more flexible in their application. Cellulose is the preferred capsule base for substances that have more of a semi solid or gel composition. Additionally, vegetarian capsules have no known potential health risks.
