Källmark FysikProtection and Breakdown of Active Substances
The capsule shell is not merely a container, but a technical barrier that protects active ingredients against moisture, oxygen, and light. An inert, stable material is required to ensure that amino acids and minerals maintain their chemical integrity.
The Advantages of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, abbreviated as HPMC, is derived from plant fiber and offers distinct advantages over animal gelatin. The material has a very low moisture content of approximately 4 to 6 percent, eliminating the risk of moisture transfer to moisture-sensitive amino acids such as L-Glutamine.
- Stability: The material resists cross-linking, which ensures that the capsule dissolves just as predictably even after prolonged storage.
- Purity: The capsules are completely free from animal by-products, preservatives, and synthetic colorants.
Practical Significance for Consumption
The capsule shell disintegrates in the stomach within 15 minutes after ingestion with water. This enables a precise, controlled release of the raw material without burdening the digestive system with unnecessary additives.
