Yes. All Capsuline empty gelatin capsules are manufactured under strict cGMP guidelines and comply with both US and European pharmacopoeia standards. They are Kosher certified, Halal certified, and allergen-free, making them suitable for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical use.

Yes. Capsuline offers flavored empty capsules available for bulk wholesale purchase starting from 50,000 units. Flavored capsules are specifically designed to mask bitter or unpleasant-tasting ingredients, improving the consumer experience. They are compatible with standard automatic and semi-automatic filling equipment.

The main differences are material, dissolution speed, and target market. Gelatin capsules are made from bovine gelatin, dissolve in approximately 15 minutes, and are the most cost-effective option for broad-market supplements. Vegetarian capsules (HPMC or pullulan) are plant-based, dissolve in approximately 30 minutes, and are preferred for vegan, vegetarian, or clean-label products. Both types are available at Capsuline with the same pharmaceutical-grade quality standards.
