Why Choose Bovine Gelatine?
Bovine gelatine has long been a trusted material for capsule production. Derived from cattle hides and bones, it offers excellent stability and digestibility. These capsules dissolve quickly in the stomach, helping your ingredients get absorbed faster. Bovine gelatine is naturally free from common allergens like gluten, soy, and dairy, making it a clean option for your DIY projects. XPRS Nutra sources their gelatine from high-quality manufacturers to insure purity and consistency. The capsules contain no additives or preservatives, so you know exactly what goes into your supplements. Compared to vegetarian alternatives, gelatine capsules are often more affordable and provide a tighter seal—a real advantage for moisture-sensitive powders. If you prefer a vegan option, you might want to look elsewhere, but for most DIY users, bovine gelatine ticks all the boxes.

How to Use These Capsules
Using XPRS Nutra empty capsules is simple. Start by making sure your powder is fine and uniform for consistent filling. If you're using a capsule filling machine, follow the manufacturer's instructions. For manual filling, separate the capsule body and cap, then pack the powder into the larger body using a small spoon or tamper. Once filled, press the cap on firmly until you hear a click. Store your finished capsules in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If you're making multiple blends, be sure to labelled your capsules so you know what's what.
These capsules are also great for travellers who want to pre-measure daily supplements or for anyone who cannot stand the taste of certain powders. By encapsulating your own ingredients, you have full control over dosages and combinations.
