Veggie Softgel Capsule VS Traditional Gelatin Softgel Capsule
Type | Veggie softgels (such as HPMC capsules) | Traditional gelatin soft capsules |
Source | Plant cellulose (such as pine, cotton wool) | Animal connective tissue (e.g., cow and pig skin and bones) |
Targeted Consumers | Suitable for vegetarians, vegans, adherents of certain religious beliefs, and those with allergies | General population |
Stability | High, less prone to cross-linking | Low, prone to cross-linking under high temperature and humidity |
Barrier Properties | Low oxygen permeability, better protection of easily oxidized ingredients | Relatively high oxygen permeability |
Solubility | Wide pH range, gastric and enteric soluble | Dissolves primarily in gastric acid |
Taste | Nearly odorless | May have a slight animal-derived odor |
Compatibility | High, less reactive with most ingredients | May react with some active ingredients |
The veggie powder used in vegetarian softgels is derived from natural botanical sources, aligning with the modern consumer demand for "Clean Label" — meaning ingredient lists that are simple, natural, and easy to recognize.
