What Is The Outer Shell Of The Capsule Made Of？

At present, there are mainly two types of capsule shells on the market, namely soft capsule shells and hard capsule shells. Their main raw materials are edible medicinal gelatin, starch, etc., which are harmless substances that can be absorbed by the human body.

Capsule shells are currently widely used in the pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical industries. Medical hollow hard capsule shells are mainly used to contain solid powders and granular drugs. Edible gelatin itself is a water-soluble protein extracted from collagen, which has high bioavailability and can be quickly, reliably, and safely dissolved. Therefore, patients will not feel any irritation when swallowing. It can also prevent corrosion of oral and esophageal mucosa, or prevent its volatility. Medications without shells are easily corroded by saliva and inhaled into the airway, which may cause damage to the body. Therefore, it is not recommended for patients to take medications without shells.

In addition, patients should pay attention to rest and adjust their diet during medication, focusing on light foods and avoiding spicy and stimulating foods to avoid affecting the efficacy of the medication. Pay attention to developing regular sleep habits and ensuring adequate sleep.
