Meeting the Needs of a Global Market

Capsugel’s proprietary non-animal capsules are formulated with HPMC (hypromellose) and pullulan, eliminating the need for gelatin-based gelling agents. Our unique capsules retain all the advantages of standard two-piece gelatin capsules but are starch-free, gluten-free and preservative-free to meet the strict dietary needs of customers that choose a vegetarian lifestyle. They are also Kosher and Halal-certified. Our non-animal capsule brands include: Vcaps®, Vcaps® Plus, DRcaps® and Plantcaps® capsules.
