Size 4 Empty Capsules - 100 Count Clear Vegan Capsules with Filling Kit

Who Can Benefit from Empty Capsules?

If you're a health enthusiast, herbalist, or simply someone who prefers a personalised approach to supplementation, these empty capsules are ideal. They are particularly useful for individuals with specific dietary needs, such as vegan, Gluten Free, or non-GM lifestyles, and for those wanting to avoid common allergens found in commercial supplements. People who need precise combinations of multiple supplements or enjoy making their own herbal remedies and nootropic blends will also find these capsules invaluable. The vegan-friendly HPMC material ensures they suit plant-based lifestyles perfectly.

Key Features of These Capsules

Crafted from premium vegetable cellulose (HPMC) and water, these capsules offer a natural, plant-based product. The double-lock design includes a pre-lock and end-lock to safe the capsule halves together, preventing leaks and preserving the integrity of your fill. They are odourless and tasteless, so they won't alter the characteristics of your supplement. The included two spoons simplify the filling process, allowing you to scoop and pour with ease.

How to Choose the Right Capsule Size

Capsule size refers to the volume of powder they can hold. Size 4 capsules are amongst the smaller options, holding approximately 0.2 mL to 0.3 mL of powder (about 100–200 mg depending on density). They are perfect for potent ingredients where a small dose is sufficient, or for those who prefer a smaller capsule to swallow. For larger doses, larger sizes like 00 or 0 are available. This kit focuses on size 4, making it ideal for precise, low-volume filling.

What Are Empty Capsules for DIY Supplements?

Empty capsules provide a versatile way to create custom supplements at home. These size 4 capsules are made from Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), a plant-based material derived from vegetable cellulose. They are clear, odourless, and tasteless, making them ideal for encapsulating powders, herbs, vitamins, or other supplement ingredients. This 100-count pack includes two filling spoons, allowing you to easily measure and fill each capsule by hand or with a filling machine. Whether you want to avoid additives found in commercial supplements or need precise control over your dosage, these capsules offer a blank canvas for your health goals.

Benefits of Using Empty Capsules

Using empty capsules gives you complete control over what goes into your supplements. You can choose high-quality ingredients, adjust dosages to your needs, and avoid unwanted fillers, binders, or preservatives. This is especially valuable for those with allergies or dietary restrictions, as you can select only the ingredients that work for you. Additionally, capsules make it easy to consume powders or herbs that have an unpleasant taste; by encapsulating them, you eliminate the need to mask flavours. The size 4 capsules are small and easy to swallow, a common concern for many supplement users.

Tips for Filling Capsules

Filling your own capsules is straightforward. First, insure your workspace is clean and dry. Use the larger spoon to scoop your powder, then gently tap it to level. Place the capsule body in the holder (if using one) or hold it upright. Fill the body with the powder using the smaller spoon or by tapping the spoon. Once filled, cap the capsule with the locking feature. For best results, avoid overfilling to insure a safe seal. These capsules work well with most manual filling kits or can be filled individually.
