Natural pullulan capsules are a relatively new generation of high-class capsules that meets the growing market demand for more natural and vegetable products. Pullulan is a naturally occurring, edible, bland and tasteless polymer, which is sourced from fungi grown on a starch substrate.
Being a carbohydrate the pullulan capsule can act as nutrition for fillings like bifido-bacteria and improve the effect.
The human body does not absorb pullulan which means that it is only the content of the capsule not the capsule itself that is obtained.
Pullulan is a Biopolymer material. It is a Polysaccharide produced by the fermentation of carbohydrate (like starch/sugar) by the fungus Aureobasidium Pullulan. Its polysaccharides are water soluble by nature, through fermentation which makes it a Pullulan.
These are 100% natural vegetable capsules that are edible polymer, odourless & have no identifiable taste. For those, who hesitate in taking the gelatin; can take this vegetarian substitute for better health.
