Plantcaps

Capsugel has introduced Plantcaps capsules, a plant-based capsule made from pullulan—naturally fermented from tapioca—for a more extensive and distinctive appeal to the booming and discerning healthy lifestyle market worldwide. Plantcaps provides an option for customers distributing organic supplements in the U.S., which restricts organic labeling language on organic ingredients encapsulated in other non-pullulan polymers. Plantcaps is a clean-label product that can allow for several other important product claims, including vegetable-origin, preservative-free, gluten-free, starch-free, allergen-free and non-GMO. In addition, it satisfies dietary needs with its GRAS status, Kosher and Halal certifications, and approval by the Vegetarian Society. The product is also suitable for the Asian regulatory environment, especially for use in Japan. For further information: www.capsugel.com
