Product Features
What are polysaccharides, and what is the importance of this material in the manufacturing of our vegetarian capsules?
Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates of high molecular weight, and are found in many plants. Polysaccharides can be dietary fibers - soluble fibers composed of starch, and insoluble fibers composed of cellulose.
Our vegetarian capsules are made of polysaccharides in the form of starch, which helps to bind and form the capsule, giving it structure and strength. This polysaccharide is known as pullulan, which is natural and water soluble. It is produced from GMO-Free corn, a source of soluble fiber.
How do you know the corn is GMO-Free?
Every batch of corn used is tested to insure that the corn is free of all Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO's), or GMO-Free.
It is ok for consumers to ingest, if they are allergic to corn?
After the corn has been processed into a water soluble polysaccharide, it is then tested for the DNA that identifies the corn. Absence of the corn DNA assures the absence of the allergens present in the finished product.
We have been assured by the manufacturer that people who are allergic to corn, or any of the by-products of corn, can use this product.
Is it gluten-free?
Yes, this is guaranteed by the manufacturer.
Package contains 1000 empty capsules.
