DRcaps® Delayed Release Capsule

What it is: DRcaps® Delayed Release Capsule is a patented, vegan capsule made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), designed to withstand stomach acid and delay the release of its contents.
What it does: This capsule technology helps shield delicate ingredients—like probiotics and certain enzymes—by allowing them to pass through the stomach intact and release in the intestines where they can be most effective.
How it is used: DRcaps® is commonly used in supplement formulas targeting gut health, digestive support, and environments where precise delivery to the intestines is needed, such as with probiotics and enzyme blends.
Natural sources and supplement forms: DRcaps® are produced from non-animal, plant-derived cellulose and do not occur in nature; they are available as a specialized capsule technology used in a wide range of dietary supplements.
Why it appears in supplement formulas: Brands select DRcaps® to protect active ingredients from degradation in the stomach, ensuring higher potency and better effectiveness for ingredients requiring intestinal absorption.
What to know before use: DRcaps® capsules are well-tolerated for most people, but those with known sensitivities to cellulose or capsule materials should check with a healthcare provider before use.
