HPMC Capsules are one of the most commonly used types of capsules in the nutritional supplements industry. This type of capsule is ideal for dietary supplement products that must be absorbed quickly. Additionally, it is resistant to high temperatures and humidity, making it a great choice for hygroscopic formulas. HPMC capsules are most popular in North America, where they hold over fifty-two percent of the market.
Quali-V(r) capsules
Quali-V(r) capsules for the delivery of HPMC are designed to disintegrate more quickly than gelatin capsules. HPMC is a synthetically modified form of cellulose, and is considered safe for human consumption. It has also been used as a viscolizing agent.
Quali-V(r) capsules are made from a combination of hypromellose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. They offer a similar dissolution profile to gelatin capsules, but are better suited for hygroscopic products and formulations that react chemically with gelatin. In addition, they are plant-based and free of preservatives, which is important in the clean label movement.
Quali-V(r) capsules are manufactured according to GMP guidelines and strict pharmaceutical criteria. They have been registered in the Drug Master Files and are certified by ISO 9001 and 14001 standards. Quality control personnel monitor the manufacturing process and check each batch for compliance with regulatory guidelines. In addition, automatic camera systems are used to inspect each capsule.
G-Caps
HPMC G-Caps have a number of properties that are ideal for drug delivery. These properties include high temperature and humidity resistance, and hydration and flexibility. They are particularly useful for hygroscopic formulations. HPMC is primarily used in developed countries, especially North America and Europe. Its properties vary from one batch to the next, and the decision to use it will depend on a number of factors, including the nature of the material, target audience, and stability of supply.
HPMC G-Caps are a good alternative for gelatin capsules. They are manufactured by a company that owns the entire supply chain, ensuring high quality and continuous support for the supply chain. These capsules are also made from traceable and certified sources, which is a critical factor for safe inhalation.
HPMC is often used as a thickening agent for controlled-release systems, as a bioadhesive, and as a tablet binder. In fact, it is a listed substance in USP30-NF25. It is a white to off-white powder that is hygroscopic after drying. It is practically insoluble in acetone, chloroform, and cold water, and has a reversible thermal gelation.
