Ingredient profile
Vapofil Capsule and Other Ingredients: Gelatin, MCC and Magnesium Stearate
Below the Supplement Facts box, the Vapofil label lists three other ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), gelatin and magnesium stearate. They fill, shape and help make the capsules, and none is weighed. Gelatin comes from animals, so Vapofil is not vegetarian or vegan, even though a brand roundel says "Vegetarian". The label wins.

Below the box
What else is in Vapofil besides the seven actives?
Three things: microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin and magnesium stearate. The label prints them on one line under "Other Ingredients," just below the Supplement Facts box.
Two capsules make one daily serving, and together they hold 118 mg of listed actives, or about 59 mg per capsule. The label does not say how much the capsule shell or the fillers weigh. The Supplement Facts box weighs the dietary ingredients; the others are named without amounts.
See the full panel on the Supplement Facts page and each active on the ingredients overview.
Profile
What does the label say about the capsule?
The same format as every other ingredient profile, so you can compare them side by side.
| Label name | Other Ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), Gelatin, Magnesium Stearate |
|---|---|
| What it is | Filler, capsule shell and flow agent; gelatin is made from animals |
| Type | Inactive ingredients |
| Position on the label | Below the Supplement Facts box |
| Amount per serving | Not weighed on the label |
| What research shows | These are common, inactive capsule ingredients; gelatin means the capsule is not vegetarian |
| Strength of evidence | Inactive, not a health claim |
| Why it is in the formula (brand view) | Hold and bind the 59 mg of actives in each capsule |
| Main caution | A brand roundel says "Vegetarian", but the label lists gelatin. People who avoid animal products should skip it. |
The "brand view" row describes what the ingredient does in the product, not a health effect.
Three helpers
What does each other ingredient do?
Each one has a manufacturing job. None is there for a health effect.
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)
A fine powder made from plant fiber. With only about 59 mg of actives per capsule, a filler helps bring each capsule up to a full, even fill. The label does not say how much is used.
Gelatin
The capsule shell itself. Gelatin is made from animal collagen. The label does not say which animal, so people who avoid pork or beef cannot tell from the bottle.
Magnesium stearate
A common processing aid that keeps powder from sticking to machines, so each capsule fills to the same weight. The label names no amount and no source.
They matter for two practical reasons: diet rules and allergies.
Label vs badge
Why does a "Vegetarian" badge sit beside a gelatin capsule?
Because the two were made separately, and they disagree. The label lists gelatin, an animal product. A round brand badge says "Vegetarian." Both cannot be true.
The label is the legal record of what is in the bottle. Federal rules set how the Supplement Facts box must name and weigh ingredients (21 CFR 101.36, Supplement labels). A marketing badge has no such rules behind it, and this one names no certifier or test. So we follow the label: Vapofil is not vegetarian, and it is not vegan.
The conflict could be an old graphic or a copy error; we cannot tell. If a plant-based capsule matters to you, ask the distributor to confirm the shell in writing, and read the label on the bottle that arrives.
The badge is one of fourteen brand graphics we explain on the testing and quality page.
At a glance
Which diets and allergies does the capsule affect?
What the label settles, and what it leaves open.
| Question | What the label shows | Our reading |
|---|---|---|
| Vegetarian or vegan? | Gelatin is listed | No. Gelatin comes from animals |
| Pork-free or beef-free? | Not published | Unknown: the gelatin source is not named |
| Gluten? | No gluten ingredient listed | A brand badge says gluten free; no test is named |
| Dairy? | No dairy ingredient listed | A brand badge says dairy free; no test is named |
| Magnesium stearate source? | Not published | Ask the distributor if it matters to you |
| Amounts of fillers? | Not published | Normal for other ingredients on a supplement label |
A missing line only means the label does not list it. With a serious food allergy, ask about shared equipment before you buy.
Quick check
Should you skip Vapofil if you avoid animal products?
Yes, as the label stands. The gelatin question is number six.
The gelatin question is about belief, not danger. ED can be an early sign of heart disease or diabetes, so a checkup with your doctor comes before any supplement in this category. More on who the product suits is on the who it's for page.
By the numbers
How much is in each Vapofil capsule?
Practical tips
How should you store and check gelatin capsules?
Three small habits that follow the label.
Read the bottle you receive
Check that the other ingredients line matches: microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin, magnesium stearate. Look for "REV 10/24" and an intact safety seal.
Keep it cool and dry
The label says to keep the bottle away from heat, light and humidity. A dry cupboard suits a gelatin shell better than a steamy bathroom shelf.
Ask in writing
For the gelatin source or allergen questions, email [email protected], the address printed on the label, and keep the reply.
Keep exploring
Where do the other Vapofil ingredients fit?
The capsule is the last stop on the label tour. The seven actives each have a page that compares the printed amount with the research, starting with saw palmetto, the first line on the panel.
FAQ
Vapofil capsule and filler questions
What is the Vapofil capsule made of?
The shell is gelatin, according to the label. Inside, the seven listed actives share space with microcrystalline cellulose, a plant-fiber filler, and magnesium stearate, a processing aid. None of the three other ingredients is weighed on the label.
Does Vapofil contain gelatin?
Yes. Gelatin is the second of three other ingredients printed under the Supplement Facts box. It is an animal product, which is why Vapofil does not suit vegetarians, even though one brand badge says otherwise.
Can vegans take Vapofil?
Not as the label reads today. The gelatin shell is made from animal collagen, so the product is not vegetarian or vegan. A switch to a plant shell would have to show on the label.
Is the gelatin in Vapofil from pork or beef?
The label does not say. It lists only "Gelatin" with no animal source. If that matters for religious or personal reasons, email the distributor at the address on the label and ask for a written answer before you order.
What is microcrystalline cellulose in a supplement?
It is a fine, purified powder made from plant fiber. It works as a filler so small amounts of actives fill each capsule evenly.
Why is magnesium stearate in Vapofil?
It is a processing aid that helps powder flow through filling machines without sticking, so each capsule ends up with the same weight. The Vapofil label names it but gives no amount or source, which is common for this kind of ingredient.
Is Vapofil gluten free and dairy free?
No gluten or dairy ingredient appears on the label, and brand badges say gluten free and dairy free. Neither badge names a test or certifier. If you have celiac disease or a milk allergy, ask about shared equipment in writing.
