Ideal Uses for Empty Gelatine Capsules
These capsules suit countless uses. Herbal fans often encapsulate powders like ashwagandha, turmeric, or moringa. Nootropic enthusiasts can formulate custom brain-boosting blends with lion's mane or bacopa monnieri. Fitness enthusiasts might fill them with creatine, beta-alanine, or BCAAs. Vitamin powders can be pre-measured for travel. Size 0's versatility makes it a staple for any DIY supplement maker.
How to Fill Your Own Capsules
Filling empty capsules is simple. You need your chosen powder, a capsule filling machine (or manual tamper), and the capsules. Separate cap and body, fill the body, then press the cap on. The Farma Lock ensures a tight seal, protecting against moisture and spills. For best results, use fine powders and avoid clumping. Many people mix herbs, vitamins, or sports supplements for personalised doses.
To achieve consistent fill weights, consider using a filling machine that aligns multiple capsules at once. Manual methods work well for small batches, but machines save time for larger quantities. Always work in a clean environment to prevent contamination. After filling, store capsules in an airtight container away from heat and humidity. Properly filled capsules can last for months if stored correctly.
