Capsule Connection Size #1 Empty Vegan Capsules - 10,000 Separated Capsules (10 Bags of 1000)

Key Benefits of Pre-Separated Capsules

The biggest advantage? Time saved. With these capsules, there's no need to pull apart each one by hand – they come already separated, so you can dive straight into filling. This can shave off up to 40 minutes per thousand capsules, which is a huge help whether you're a hobbyist or running a small business. Plus, they're made from pure vegetable cellulose, so they're vegan, kosher, and halal certified. No preservatives or additives either – just clean, clear capsules that let you see the quality of your fill. Perfect for those who want control over what goes into their supplements.

What Are Separated Empty Vegan Capsules?

These are size #1 empty capsules, pre-separated and crafted from 100% vegetable cellulose. Each capsule body and cap are already detached, eliminating the tedious step of separation. Size #1 holds about 400 mg (or roughly 1/9 teaspoon) of most powders, making it a versatile choice for a range of encapsulation projects. Whether you're mixing up a personal blend or producing for clients, these capsules offer a clean and efficient solution.

Ingredients and Manufacturing Quality

The capsules are made from vegetable cellulose sourced from plants like pine or poplar – no gelatine whatsoever, so they suit vegans and anyone avoiding animal products. They're produced without preservatives, binders, or artificial additives, and are certified kosher and halal. Capsule Connection sells directly to you, which helps keep quality high and prices competitive. The 10,000 capsules come in 10 separate bags of 1,000, making it easy to portion out for smaller batches and protect from moisture.

How to Choose the Right Capsule Size

Size #1 is one of the most common sizes, holding around 400 mg of typical powder. For reference, size 0 holds about 500 mg, size 00 about 735 mg, and size 2 about 300 mg. The right size depends on your dosage needs and the density of your fill. For most herb powders or nutritional blends, size #1 strikes a good balance – not too big for swallowing and not too small to need multiple capsules per dose. If you're unsure, size #1 is a safe starting point.

Who Uses Empty Capsules?

Health enthusiasts often make custom supplement blends to meet specific needs – mixing herbs, vitamins, or minerals. Herbalists and naturopaths use them for precise dosages of herbal formulas. Small businesses and supplement companies might start with capsule filling before scaling up. These capsules are also great for anyone who dislikes swallowing large pills or wants to avoid the taste of powders. For personal or professional use, pre-separated capsules make the process smoother.

FAQs About Empty Capsules

Can I use these capsules with a filling machine?

Yes, pre-separated capsules work well with both manual and automatic machines – just load the bodies into the filling plate directly.

Are these capsules suitable for oily or liquid fills?

No, they're designed for dry powders and granules only. For liquids or pastes, you'd need specialized capsules with a locking ring or moisture-resistant seal.

How should I store empty capsules?

Keep them in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat. Moisture can soften them or cause sticking. Store them in the sealed bags until ready to use.

What size capsule holds 500 mg?

A size 0 capsule typically holds about 500 mg of medium-density powder. Size #1 holds 400 mg, so to get 500 mg you might use size 0 or two size #1 capsules.

Always read the label and follow directions for use.
