Empty Vcaps® Plus Capsules Size 0 by Lonza are plant-based HPMC capsules developed for nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and dietary supplement applications. Designed as a vegetarian and vegan-friendly alternative to gelatin capsules, they are widely used for encapsulating powders, botanical extracts, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and specialty nutraceutical ingredients.
Vcaps® Plus capsules feature a clean-label composition with no animal-derived ingredients, preservatives, or starch. Their low moisture content makes them suitable for hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive formulations, while their dependable dissolution performance and oxygen barrier properties support ingredient stability and formulation quality across a variety of delivery systems.
Size 0 capsules are commonly used in OEM, contract manufacturing, and large-scale production environments due to their consistent dimensional quality and compatibility with semi-automatic and high-speed encapsulation equipment. Manufactured under strict quality-controlled standards, each batch is typically supplied with technical documentation, including COA, SDS/MSDS, and specification sheets to support quality assurance and regulatory compliance requirements.
