Gelatin Capsules
Most capsules are made from gelatin. Gelatin is widely used in many food products such as puddings, desserts etc. Gelatin itself is a mixture of water-soluble proteins derived primarily from collagen, which is the main naturally occurring protein constituent of connective tissue. Gelatin is obtained from collagen by exposing animal skins and bones to a controlled extraction process. Gelatin comes in various types. Capsules are made from pharmaceutical-grade gelatin that has met the stringent requirements of the United States Pharmacopoeia and other international organizations that set standards for products that are used in medicines.
