Vegetable capsules – KCAPS®

Vegetable-Based Capsules

 

The preferred brand in over 60 countries, K-CAPS® are trusted by leading pharmaceutical and supplement makers across the globe. Suitable for all types of applications, K-CAPS® are produced from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC). This is a completely plant-based material, making it ideal for consumption by vegetarians, vegans, or those who for cultural reasons cannot consume animal byproduct.

Compared to other HPMC-based capsules, K-CAPS® provide many advantages, including exceptional appearance and superior compatibility with automatic capsule filling machines. This directly translates into increased productivity and reduced operation costs. Offering exceptional versatility, K-CAPS® are ideal for a wide range of dosage forms, including moisture sensitive, hygroscopic and liquid formulations, gels and pastes.

Just like our gelatin capsules, K-CAPS® are manufactured in a dedicated sole-purpose state-of-the-art c-GMP facility and are fully compliant with all current pharmaceutical requirements (USP & EP).
