With a growing preference towards non-GMO, nature-based and sustainably sourced ingredients, the pressure is on to deliver plant-based dietary supplement formulations that don’t compromise on quality or performance.

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a superlative and extensively used ingredient alternative to gelatin. As well as meeting consumer demands for green, non-animal products, HPMC delivers on the promise of improved physical stability and lower moisture content. This makes it an ideal solution for manufacturers that need a capsule which will protect hygroscopic and moisture sensitive ingredients.

IFF’s Pharma Solutions has decades of experience in METHOCEL™ polymer science and in the dietary supplement arena. We understand what it takes to create exceptional plant-based capsules that meet the latest consumer desires. Inspired to switch from gelatin to a nature-based vegetarian alternative, like HPMC? We can help you make the transition with ease, speed and confidence.
