Taking the medicinal powder directly can easily burn the esophagus and gastric mucosa, causing ulcers. Some medicinal powders are too irritating and can easily choke into the trachea and corrode the tracheal mucosa. Using a hollow capsule as a carrier can well protect the stomach.

　　Edible empty capsules are divided into two types according to the material, one is gelatin capsule skin, which is made of animal leather, and the other is starch capsule skin, which is mainly capsule skin made of plant starch.
