Capsule shell hollow capsule is refined from medicinal gelatin with auxiliary materials.

Capsule Shell is an ovoid hollow shell used to contain solid powder and granules made from edible grade medicinal gelatin after refined treatment with auxiliary materials. The capsule shell has good bioavailability and can be dissolved quickly, reliably and safely.
