Pullulan Capsules: The Ultimate Clean Choice
What is Pullulan?
Pullulan is a naturally occurring, water-soluble polysaccharide produced through the fermentation of starch by the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans. It is widely recognized for its purity, safety, and superior oxygen barrier protection, making it an ideal material for encapsulating health supplements. Unlike traditional gelatin or HPMC capsules, pullulan is entirely plant-based and biodegradable, offering a clean alternative for health-conscious consumers.
Why Use Pullulan Capsules?
Pullulan capsules provide several key benefits that make them the preferred choice for encapsulating a wide range of supplements:
- Vegan & Vegetarian Friendly – Free from any animal-derived ingredients, making them ideal for plant-based diets.
- Non-GMO & Gluten-Free – Ensuring purity and safety for consumers with dietary restrictions.
- Best-In-Class Oxygen Barrier – Pullulan capsules provide superior protection against oxidation, keeping encapsulated ingredients fresh and potent for longer.
- Odorless & Tasteless – Won’t interfere with the natural aroma or benefits of encapsulated substances.
- Water-Soluble & Gut-Friendly – Easily dissolves for efficient digestion and nutrient absorption.
- No Synthetic Additives – Free from artificial preservatives, chemicals, or harmful substances.
- Eco-Friendly & Sustainable – Pullulan is biodegradable and naturally sourced, aligning with sustainability commitments.
Why Oxygen Barrier Protection Matters
Many plant-based and natural supplements lose their potency over time due to oxidation. Pullulan capsules act as a natural shield against moisture and oxygen exposure, which helps to preserve the essential nutrients of encapsulated ingredients. This means a higher quality supplement that delivers maximum health benefits.
