are made from gelatin or HPMC (hypromellose). Gelatin is an animal-derived protein, while HPMC is a cellulose-derived, non-animal material. Some plant-based capsules use pullulan or other polysaccharide systems. Softgel shells usually combine gelatin or a specialized non-animal shell system with water and a plasticizer such as glycerin or sorbitol.<\/p>\n \n<p>The capsule shell is separate from the material inside it. The fill may contain vitamins, minerals, botanicals, amino acids, probiotics, oils, powders, granules, beadlets, and excipients.

Capsule-grade gelatin is commonly sourced from bovine or porcine materials, although fish-derived gelatin is available for specialized products. The source should be verified through the shell supplier&#8217;s specification, traceability documents, and any relevant religious or dietary certificates. A generic \u201cgelatin\u201d declaration does not, by itself, identify the animal species.<\/p>\n \n<p>Hard gelatin capsules are usually two-piece shells made with gelatin and water. Supplier formulations may also include approved colors, opacifiers, or processing aids. Softgel shells are different: they require a plasticizer to remain flexible and are formed, filled, and sealed in one process.

It is a cellulose ether manufactured from purified cellulose through controlled chemical modification. The resulting material is used to form non-animal hard capsule shells. Although the cellulose source is plant-derived, claims such as vegan, non-GMO, halal, or kosher should still be supported by supplier documentation and certification rather than assumed from the material name alone.<\/p>\n \n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"HPMC_and_Moisture-Sensitive_Formulas\"><\/span>HPMC and Moisture-Sensitive Formulas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>HPMC shells commonly have a lower equilibrium moisture range than gelatin shells, which can make them useful for some hygroscopic or moisture-sensitive ingredients. This does not mean HPMC is automatically superior for every formula. Shell performance depends on the capsule supplier, gelling system, fill composition, storage humidity, packaging, and dissolution requirements. Compare these factors in our <a href=\"https:\/\/collagensei.com\/vi\/vien-nang-gelatin-so-voi-vien-nang-hpmc-danh-cho-nguoi-an-chay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gelatin vs. HPMC formulation guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n<p>Brands should confirm shell moisture specifications, brittleness risk, dissolution behavior, compatibility with hygroscopic ingredients, and performance after accelerated and real-time stability testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pullulan_and_Other_Plant-Based_Capsules\"><\/span>Pullulan and Other Plant-Based Capsules<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n \n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Pullulan\"><\/span>What Is Pullulan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Pullulan is a water-soluble polysaccharide made by microbial fermentation. It can be formed into clear, plant-based capsule shells and is often used for premium positioning. Pullulan may provide useful oxygen-barrier properties, but the practical protection of a finished supplement also depends on shell thickness, fill chemistry, headspace, bottle material, closure, desiccant or oxygen absorber, and storage conditions. Do not rely on one universal barrier multiple without supplier-specific test data.<\/p>\n \n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Pullulan_Make_a_Product_USDA_Organic\"><\/span>Does Pullulan Make a Product USDA Organic?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No capsule material automatically makes a finished product \u201c100% organic\u201d or \u201corganic.\u201d USDA rules allow pullulan for organic handling in products labeled \u201cMade with organic (specified ingredients or food group(s)),\u201d subject to the National Organic Program and certifier review. The finished product&#8217;s ingredients, percentages, processing aids, records, facility controls, and label must meet the applicable certification category. Obtain written approval from the organic certifier before finalizing claims or packaging.<\/p>\n \n<p>Other non-animal hard capsule systems may use starches, carrageenan, gellan gum, modified cellulose, or blends of polysaccharides.

Gelatin is animal-derived, while HPMC is a cellulose-derived, non-animal material. Selected plant-based capsules use pullulan, starch, or other polysaccharide systems.
