capsule

A capsule is a small, hard container that holds something inside. It is usually made of gelatin or plastic. Capsules can be used to hold medicine, vitamins, or other small objects.

Capsules are easy to swallow, and they can be taken with or without food. They are also easy to store and transport.

Imagine that you have a small, hard ball. This is a capsule. Inside the capsule, there is something small, like a piece of candy or a vitamin. When you swallow the capsule, the thing inside is released into your body.

Here are some examples of capsules:

• Medicine capsules
• Vitamin capsules
• Gelatin capsules
• Plastic capsules
• Time-release capsules

The medicine came in a capsule.
