Thanks for the information! Very informative, concise and to-the-point comparison. I wanted to mention some variation in my experience with HPMC derived veg-caps vs. bovine derived gel-caps (both clear): HPMC can have other additives for various and necessary reasons - which can change color composition. (not always more "tinted"; sometimes clearer) GelCaps can also have added ingredients, although by and large - the ingredients are almost always tasteless/odourless. Best measure to determine the difference: The taste - every producer I've used worldwide has provided a tasteless gelatin capsules, which always (In my experience) contrasts with HPMC derived capsules that can have a pine-taste as mentioned - to a neutral "starch taste" (think corn starch dissolved in water - as the texture of powder is not present). Vegetarian capsules always have a taste, and although sometimes subtle, it is comparable in taste to other cellulose products (MCC excluded), and amino acids such as glutamine, l-theanine, l-tyrosine, etc.
THANKS FOR THE INFO I WAS THINKING THAT THEY SPRAYED SOME KIND OF CHEMICAL ON THE VEGI CAPS BECAUSE THEY HAVE SOME KIND OF WEIRD TASTE TO THEM! BUT YOU JUST EXPLAINED IT IN SIMPLE TERMS THAT THEY'[RE MADE FROM PINE BARK! I SURE DO APPRECIATE THE VIDEO!! 2 THUMBS UP!!
Thank U for that helpful video, u gave me new informations. I'm Muslim, I take vcaps because I don't know Where do the gelatin caps exactly come from? My Question is: Is it safe to take about 12 or more of these vcaps aday?
Thanks You for making this video! First I like most people thought v-caps were made of fruit and vegetable by product as in using leftover fruit and vegetable from other companies. Not striping the bark from pine trees that can't be good for the pine trees. I recently started to make my own supplement capsules and was wondering which was the better option. after seeing your video I did some research and it seems the gelatin caps are better for you. Happy I know this now and I can save on capsules prices as v-caps sell for 15 compared to 10 for gelatin. I also wonder how bad the damage to the pine trees is...
@@hw8741 pigs grow big in a year. Trees in 10 years. It's a wash though because nobody is killing either for this substance, they're both a byproduct of an existing industry.
Not sure if this is safe but while pregnant I loved savoring the outer coating of the whole food vitamins I was taking. So I ended up purchasing two different packs of empty pill capsules, one gelatin and the other cellulose. So I practically eat empty pill capsules everyday because I like the taste of them. Is this safe? 😆🥴
When consuming gelatin capsules, it's easy to feel confident that you're not getting too much. After all, Jell-O is made from the same material, and it would take a lot of capsules to equal even a teaspoon of Jell-O! Cellulose is just as inert and has been used as a thickening agent for food for many decades.
+Nathalie De Wit I have also heard that gelatin is more easily recognized by the body since it is real food. I empty my vegi-caps into herbal tea to take the contents. Wish all supplements were available in gelatin caps.
Hi Shiney Shite - It has been my experience over the past two decades that the only time a capsule becomes useless is if it has been left exposed to heat or dry conditions (or overly humid). If it's pliable and doesn't crack, and kept in a cool, indoor location, generally they will last well beyond the expiration date.
Thanks for the info it was very helpful. I'm a vegan and had no idea about gelatin.

@@EmptyCaps Okay, thanks for the quick response.
which one dissolve faster
Which is better for your body?

What about colored capsules? Can veg caps be colored or just gelatin?
Can either type become indigestible over time like in the case of being beyond expiration date? Or longer?
