中文简体The main components of an empty gelatin capsule are the shell and the cap. The two pieces fit together to form a container that can be filled with various substances.
The shell is the larger of the two components and is typically made of gelatin derived from animal skin or bones, although vegetarian alternatives made from plant-based materials are also available. The shell is typically clear or opaque and may be colorless or colored. Gelatin capsules are available in a range of sizes, from small sizes for powdered supplements to larger sizes for liquids or other dosage forms.
The cap is the smaller of the two components and also made of gelatin or plant-based materials. The cap fits snugly on top of the shell to complete the capsule and ensure it is leak-proof.
Both the shell and cap can be customized with different colors, flavors, and printing to make the capsule more visually appealing or to provide information such as ingredients or dosages.
Overall, empty gelatin capsules provide a convenient and versatile way to supplement or medicate, and their components should be carefully crafted to meet the needs of manufacturers and consumers.
