Frequently Asked Questions About Empty Capsules
What size capsule should I choose?
Size 2 capsules hold approximately 200–400 mg of powder. If you need a different capacity, sizes 0 or 00 are larger, and size 3 is smaller. This product is a versatile middle-ground option.
Are these capsules vegetarian or vegan?
No, these capsules are made from 100% bovine gelatine, so they are not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. For plant-based alternatives, look for capsules made from cellulose or pullulan.
Can I fill them with liquids or oils?
These gelatine capsules are designed for dry powders. Liquids or oils may cause the gelatine to soften or leak. For liquid fills, specialised capsules such as soft-gels are needed.
How many capsules are in this package?
This package contains 500 empty capsules, giving you plenty for regular use. A great starting point for both beginners and experienced capsule makers.
How should I store the capsules?
Store capsules in a cool, dry place away from heat and moisture. A sealed container helps maintain their integrity. Under proper conditions, they have a long shelf life.
What Are Size 2 Empty Capsules and Why Use Them?
Empty capsules are a practical solution for anyone wanting to create personalised supplement blends. Whether you have specific dietary needs, prefer to avoid certain fillers, or want to control the dosage of your favourite powders, size 2 empty gelatine capsules offer a convenient way to encapsulate your own ingredients. They hold between 200 mg and 400 mg of powdered material, depending on density, making them ideal for a range of supplements.

Key Features of XPRS Nutra Empty Gelatine Capsules
The XPRS Nutra Size 2 empty gelatine capsules are crafted from 100% pure bovine gelatine, free from additives and preservatives. A standout feature is the snap-shut design: each capsule has a click-shut mechanism that helps protect the contents from humidity and air, keeping your powders fresh. The transparent shell makes it easy to see the fill level for precise dosing. Whether you fill by hand or use a capsule filling machine, these capsules have tough, anti-break conical ends that resist cracking during filling. They are also easy to digest—the bovine gelatine dissolves quickly in the gastrointestinal tract for optimal absorption.
How to Use Size 2 Capsules for DIY Supplement Filling
Using these empty capsules is straightforward. Start by gathering your powdered supplement, a capsule filling tray (optional), and the capsules. If filling by hand, simply separate the capsule body and cap, fill the body with your powder using a small scoop or tamper, then press the cap on until it clicks shut. For more efficiency, a capsule filling machine can fill multiple capsules at once. Insure the powder is packed evenly for consistent doses. After filling, store the finished capsules in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Labelled each batch with the contents and date for easy identification. Always work in a clean environment to avoid contamination.
