What Are HPMC Capsules?

HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) capsules, often called hypromellose capsules, are a plant-based alternative to traditional gelatine capsules. Sourced from wood pulp, HPMC consists of partly methylated and hydroxypropylated cellulose units. These capsules are entirely vegetarian and vegan, making them ideal for those with dietary restrictions or preferences. Unlike gelatine capsules, which come from animal sources (bovine or porcine), HPMC capsules offer a cellulose-based structure that is stable and straightforward to swallow. They are clear, allowing you to see the contents, and are commonly used for encapsulating herbs, spices, botanicals, and dietary supplements.
