Overview
Capsule: Technical Overview
A hard capsule consists of two shells — body and cap — filled with a powder or granule blend and closed together. The shell masks the taste and smell of herbal ingredients, protects the contents and makes every dose identical.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Capsule
What is the difference between gelatin and plant-based capsules?
Both do the same job. Gelatin shells are the classic choice; plant-based HPMC shells are preferred for vegetarian, vegan or certain dietary requirements.
What can be filled into a hard capsule?
Dry ingredients — powders, granules and powdered herbal extracts. Oils and liquids are better suited to softgels.
Capsule or tablet — which should I choose?
Capsules mask taste well and need fewer additives; tablets can carry higher doses per unit and are usually more economical. The ingredient and target market decide.
