Enteric-coated empty capsules

These transparent enteric-coated empty capsules of size 0 or 00 do not require any gelatine . They are made of cellulose. So they are vegetarian empty capsules. They are packed in a poly bag/aluminum bag that you can easily open. The sizes of the enteric-coated empty capsules offered are in the middle range of possible dimensions. They are therefore neither too small nor too big.

The capsules are really enteric. The time of resistance to acid is optimally adapted to the passage of the stomach. So you get capsules that only dissolve in the small intestine. According to the experiences of my customers, you can easily survive the passage through the gastric juice and dissolve only in the small intestine. They consist of HPMC (hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose), i.e. cellulose.

Due to its transparency, it is not necessary to use the titanium dioxide that has become a topic of discussion for coloring. Thus, the capsules are free of this additive.
Why are these capsules enteric-coated compared to other HPMC capsules?
The outer layer of cellulose (HPMC) capsules has a layer that ensures that the contents intended for the intestine do not already leak out in the gastric juice. The capsule can therefore resist the gastric juice. This outer coating is made of Gellan rubber. This acts as a gelling agent on the empty capsule.
This coating is applied to the cellulose capsules in a dipping process. After drying, this capsule has a certain resistance to acid compared to the conventional HPMC chasubles. It is tuned in such a way that the contents in the capsule only exit in the small intestine.

Even if the capsule becomes soft due to liquids, its shelf life on the way to the small intestine is still guaranteed. This is the special thing and the difference to the non-enteric-coated empty capsules made of HPMC (cellulose).
