HOOD RIVER, Ore.—Bright Pharma Caps released its Bright-Poly Organic capsules, which are the world’s first certified organic capsules, according to the company.
Bright-Poly Organic capsules are produced in an environmentally friendly and health-conscious manner. The company’s National Organic Program (NOP)-certified organic pullulan is water extracted from fungi grown on starch substrate. There are no toxic chemicals involved in the processing of this pullulan.
In addition, Bright-Poly Organic capsules provide a superior oxygen barrier. Pullulan capsules are a good choice for oxygen sensitive materials, such as enzymes, live bacteria and antioxidants. Pullulan film is 300 times stronger than HPMC film and 9 times stronger than gelatin film of the same thickness. Pullulan is chemically inert, and does not react or cross-link. These capsules are non-brittle, glossy and run superior on high-speed encapsulation machines.
