Capsules can also be used in powder supplements. The size of the
capsules is denoted using a number, this number indicates the capsules volume
and size. These numbers are reversed, with zero size denoting the biggest size.

capsules automatically, this process is much easier and faster. This process is
useful for filling all types of vitamin and herb powders. These machines allow
in saving around 75% of the supplements, by using fresh and high-quality raw
materials.
Capsules are made up of two parts:
the body and the cap. The active ingredient is filled first and the cap is
placed on the empty capsule. There are two types of capsules available: hard
gelatin and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC). Each type has unique characteristics
and uses. Capsules made of HPMC contain a combination of inert and medicinal
agents and these are available in various sizes, shapes, and colors.
The use of empty capsules is
widespread in the pharmaceutical industry. The origin of capsules is a major
issue, as some people are non-vegetarian. Non-vegetarian capsules contain
gelatin shells, which are usually animal-based. Vegetarian capsules are made
with starch-based or HPMC-based shells.
