What is the capsule cover made of?
The cover of the capsule given by the doctor in the form of medicine in any disease is not made of biodegradable plastic. These covers are of two types. First hard shell and second soft shell. Both capsule covers are made from biodegradable materials. Both these types of capsule covers are made from liquid like animal or some plant proteins. The capsule material whose cover is made from animal protein is called gelatin. It is extracted by boiling the bones and skin of chicken, fish, pig and cow and their species and other animals.
