What is it?

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a plant-derived ingredient commonly used to make vegetarian and vegan capsules for dietary supplements.

Information

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a plant-derived ingredient commonly used to make vegetarian and vegan capsules for dietary supplements. It is also used as a stabilizer and thickening agent in foods and pharmaceuticals. In capsule supplements, HPMC forms the capsule shell that safely protects the ingredients until they are consumed.

Where does it come from?

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is derived from cellulose, the primary structural component of plant cell walls. The cellulose is typically sourced from renewable plant materials such as wood pulp or cotton fibers and is carefully modified to create a stable, high-quality material suitable for use in vegetarian and vegan capsules.

REGENERATION VITALITY PROTECTION

What are the benefits?

  • Plant-Derived: Made from renewable plant-based cellulose and suitable for vegetarian and vegan lifestyles.
  • Protective: Forms a durable capsule shell that helps protect the ingredients from moisture and environmental exposure.
  • Stable: Helps maintain capsule integrity and consistent performance throughout the product's shelf life.
  • Easy to Swallow: Creates smooth capsules that are comfortable and easy to take.
  • Inert: Serves as a capsule material without contributing active nutritional or biological effects.

How is it used in our products?

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is used in I95 Hydroxytyrosol Burn Molecule from OLIVEDA. In I95, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is the material for our vegetarian capsule shell. It helps protect the carefully selected ingredients inside while providing a plant-based alternative to traditional gelatin capsules. HPMC is chosen for its stability, quality, and compatibility with vegan and vegetarian formulations, ensuring the capsule delivers the ingredients safely and effectively.
