Demand for vegan supplements is soaring1
Consumers are increasingly choosing vegan products to support both their health, and the health of the planet. This opens opportunities for nutraceutical brands to widen their net and attract new consumer groups, but how can you capitalize on this growing trend while standing out in a crowded market?
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.
