Capsugel® Vcaps® Plus capsules offer creativity, performance, and a premium feel
Discover the broadest range of immediate release HPMC capsule colors on the market, including innovative food-colored and TiO2-free options.
Made from just color and HPMC—a cellulose-based material—our Capsugel® Vcaps® Plus vegan capsules are manufactured using a thermo-gelation process without secondary gelling agents. This enables gelatin-like release profiles and a glossy gelatin-like look, creating a premium feel for further brand differentiation and added value.
Capsugel® Vcaps® Plus capsules are designed for both performance and creativity—offering broad ingredient compatibility and a desired gelatin-like immediate release in a range of color options. Plus, the stable polymer structure of HPMC reduces the potential of cross-linking to allow excellent and consistent dissolution performance.
