What Are Empty Gelatine Capsules?
Empty gelatine capsules are a convenient way to package your own powdered supplements, herbs, or nootropics at home. These size 0 capsules from XPRS Nutra are made from 100% pure bovine gelatine, offering a reliable, easy-to-digest shell for your custom blends. Each capsule measures just 0.55 inches in length and holds between 400 mg and 800 mg of powder, depending on the density of your ingredients. The clear design allows you to see the contents for easy identification and precise filling.
Key Advantages of DIY Supplement Capsules
Creating your own supplements with empty capsules offers several advantages. You choose exactly what goes into each capsule—no hidden additives, preservatives, or unnecessary binders. This is especially valuable for individuals with dietary restrictions or allergies. The snap-shut design helps keep your powders safe and protected from humidity and air, extending their shelf life. Once swallowed, the pure gelatine shell dissolves quickly in the gastrointestinal tract, helping ensure maximum absorption of the ingredients you've selected. These capsules are also easy to fill manually, by hand, or with a capsule filling machine. The rounded ends and sturdy construction reduce breakage, making the filling process smoother and less wasteful.
Who Can Benefit from Using Empty Capsules?
Empty gelatine capsules are ideal for anyone who wants to create personalised supplement blends. This includes individuals who: prefer to avoid commercial fillers and excipients, need specific dosages unavailable in pre-made products, or enjoy experimenting with herbal powders and nootropics. They are also popular amongst those following a paleo or keto lifestyle, as well as travellers who want to pack their own supplements in a portable, pre-measured form. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.
Selecting the Right Capsule Size and Type
Capsule size matters for proper dosing and ease of swallowing. Size 0 is one of the most versatile sizes, holding a moderate amount of powder without being too large to swallow comfortably—about 0.4 inches in diameter and 0.55 inches long. When selecting capsules, consider the material: gelatine capsules are derived from animal sources (bovine) and are suitable for most people, while vegetarian alternatives are available for those avoiding animal products. These XPRS Nutra capsules are from high-quality manufacturers and certified kosher and halal. Always check the density of your powder: a dense powder (like creatine) fills towards the lower end of the capacity range, while lighter powders (like herbal blends) require more volume.

What can I put in these capsules? Empty capsules are suitable for powdered supplements, herbs, spices, or any fine powder. Avoid liquids or oils as they may soften the gelatine prematurely.
