Benefits of Using Empty Capsules
Using empty capsules allows you to create a supplement routine tailored to your exact needs. You can combine specific ingredients, control dosages precisely, and avoid unwanted fillers or binders found in commercial products. It's an economical way to take multiple supplements, as you can buy powders in bulk and fill capsules as required. Empty capsules are also handy for travel, as you can pre-fill capsules for each day. With XPRS Nutra's high-quality capsules, you can trust your supplements are stored in a safe, inert container that won't react with your ingredients.
What Are Size 00 Empty Capsules?
Size 00 empty capsules are a popular choice for DIY supplement preparation. They measure approximately 14 mm in length and 7.6 mm in diameter, and can hold between 600 mg and 1100 mg of powdered material depending on density. Designed for manual filling or with capsule filling machines, they suit hobbyists and serious supplement enthusiasts alike. The transparent body lets you see the fill level, ensuring consistent doses and reducing waste. Whether you're blending vitamins, herbs, or nootropics, size 00 capsules offer a balanced capacity for most powders.
Why Choose Vegan HPMC Capsules?
Unlike traditional gelatine capsules made from animal sources, HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) capsules are 100% plant-based. Derived from vegetable cellulose, they are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. HPMC capsules are free from common allergens and preservatives, and are naturally Gluten Free. They dissolve easily in the gastrointestinal tract for efficient absorption. Plus, they have low moisture content to preserve powder potency and extend shelf life. Many are also kosher and halal certified, catering to various dietary requirements. For ethical or religious reasons, HPMC capsules are a great alternative to gelatine.
How to Fill Your Own Capsules
Filling your own capsules is straightforward with minimal equipment. Use a capsule filling machine or do it manually by hand. The capsules have tough, anti-break rounded ends to prevent breakage during handling. The transparent design helps you see when they are full. After filling, press the cap and body together until you hear a click – the snap-shut mechanism ensures a safe seal, minimising powder waste and protecting from humidity and air. For best results, use a fine powder and tap capsules gently to settle contents. If using a machine, follow the instructions for size 00. It's quick and efficient for creating custom blends at home.
