Who Should Consider Empty Capsules?
Empty capsules are a fantastic choice for health enthusiasts who prefer to tailor their own supplements. They're especially popular amongst those on specific eating plans like keto, paleo, or vegan diets, as they allow precise control over ingredients. Individuals with allergies or sensitivities can also avoid common triggers by selecting their own components. Athletes and fitness buffs often use them to craft custom pre-work-out or recovery mixes. Even if you're new to DIY supplements, size 1 capsules are an excellent starting point—they're small enough to swallow easily yet large enough to hold a meaningful amount of powder, typically between 300mg and 600mg depending on density.
