In producing quality herbal medicine The external capsule itself is important to be given attention. It is like a container that comes in direct contact with the drug. Therefore, the materials used must be standardized. It is safe for consumers.

Which has been verified that it is free from contamination of all kinds of microorganisms There is a standardized production process. Through quality control and cleanliness in every process
If the capsules produced are not selected and control the quality of gelatin raw materials. Including the production process that is not good enough Need to put a preservative Preservatives such as Parabens, Sodium Bisulfite (Sodium Bisulfite) in capsules, or ethylene oxide may be used in the manufacturing process. If the preservative is placed beyond the standard May cause harm And adversely affect the health of consumers
In Thailand, the Ministry of Public Health determines the amount of parabens used in capsules should not exceed 1,000 ppm. If we get a very small amount of preservatives The body will be able to get rid of it through urine normally. But if received in large quantities every day Will result in heavy liver and kidney work The deterioration of the said organ Until being followed by an illness
But from the laboratory examination of the Department of Chemistry Faculty of Science and Technology Thammasat University It was found that many capsules commercially available contain parabens. In the proportion expected to exceed the specified amount
Choose capsules that are standardized and made with superior quality gelatin.
