What Are Pullulan Capsules?

Pullulan capsules are a plant-based alternative to traditional gelatin capsules. Derived from tapioca starch, pullulan is a natural, water-soluble polysaccharide that forms a strong, clear film. These capsules are completely vegan and vegetarian, making them an excellent choice for those avoiding animal products. They are also certified kosher and halal, ensuring they meet diverse dietary and religious requirements. Capsule Connection offers these size 0 empty capsules with the tops and bottoms separated for faster, more efficient filling.

Why Separated Capsules?

Unlike pre-joined capsules, separated capsules come with all the bottoms in one bag and all the tops in another. This design significantly speeds up the capsule-filling process. Instead of twisting apart each capsule, you can fill an entire batch of bottoms at once, then cap them with the tops. It is a time-saver for anyone making large quantities of custom capsules. This method is especially popular amongst DIY supplement creators and small-scale manufacturers.

How to Undertake These Empty Capsules

Using separated capsules is straightforward. Simply take a bottom capsule, fill it with your desired powder or herb, then press a top capsule on to seal. For bulk filling, you can array the bottoms in a capsule tray, fill them uniformly with a scoop or capsule filling machine, and then attach the tops. These capsules work with most standard size 0 filling tools. The clear material lets you verify fill levels and quality.
