Pullulan is a polysaccharide produced by the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans. It forms the capsule shell that contains and protects the supplement's active ingredients, dissolving in the digestive tract to release the contents. It appears in 20 products in the GoodSupp database.

Pullulan Polysaccharide is naturally derived, meaning it comes from natural sources such as plants, minerals, or animal products rather than being chemically synthesized. Natural-origin ingredients are preferred by many consumers, though it's important to note that 'natural' does not automatically mean 'safer' — safety depends on the specific substance, its purity, and the amount used. The safety rating assigned by GoodSupp is based on the ingredient's actual safety profile, not its origin.
