Why is gelatin used in medication / capsules?

Question

helpppp thank you

Answer 1

Because it dissolves in your stomach and not in your hand.

mostly cause it is cheap and it works, it is also good for your nails and hair, once plastic becomes ekinomically viable it will replace gel and put many lawers kids through skool with all the canser suits

Answer 4

Because it is generally harmless and makes good capsule material.

because it is relatively stable at room temperature and dissolves quickly in the stomach, releasing the medication.
