As soon as a product is labeled as vegetarian or vegan, consumers immediately get the impression that there’s something inherently good or natural about it, or that it’s somehow better for their health. However, the recent discussions about vegetarian meat substitutes have shown that this is not necessarily true. Such is the case for HPMC hard capsules. They’re vegan, made from cellulose fiber and therefore regarded as natural.
What else can hydroxypropyl methylcellulose be called?

HPMC wird durch den durchschnittlichen Substitutionsgrad (DS) sowie das Verhältnis Methyl vs. Hydroxypropyl charakterisiert.[9] In Verbindung mit der allgemeinen Bezeichnung „Hypromellose“ wird dies durch eine vierstellige Zahl symbolisiert, wobei die ersten zwei dem Methoxy-Gehalt entsprechen, die letzten zwei dem Hydroxypropoxy-Gehalt.[10]

A number of toxicological studies have been conducted to evaluate the safety of HPMC. These studies include acute, subchronic and chronic toxicity assessments, as well as genotoxicity and carcinogenicity studies. Overall, these findings suggest that HPMC is safe when consumed within the recommended dosage range.
