What is capsule shell made of?
There are many kinds in capsule shell, including gelatin capsule shell and starch capsule shell, also called starch empty capsules.

Gelatin capsule shell: Mainly made of animal leather. There have been toxic capsule accidents before, so there are fewer people on the market now, so you need to buy them carefully;

Starch capsule shell: Mainly made of cassava starch. The main difference with gelatin is that you don't have to worry about poison capsule accidents, so it is relatively safe to eat.
