The transparent, tough anti-break design makes filling a breeze, whether you're using your hands or a capsule machine. The snap-shut mechanism seals the capsule firmly, keeping your powders fresh and dry. Made from 100% bovine gelatine with no additives or preservatives, these capsules dissolve reliably in your stomach. The red colour adds a nice touch, while the clear shell lets you see what's inside. Perfect for small batches or testing recipes.

Why Choose Size 5 Empty Capsules?

Size 5 capsules are the tiniest standard size, ideal for precise, low-dose creations. If you dislike swallowing large pills, these are a game changer. XPRS Nutra packs them in a handy 100-count bottle, perfect for DIY enthusiasts who want to mix their own vitamin blends, herbal powders, or nootropic combos. The compact size makes them easy to take, and the conisnap rounded ends reduce breakage during filling and storage. Whether you're a seasoned maker or just starting out, these capsules give you complete control over your ingredients.

What Makes Them High Quality?

XPRS Nutra goes the extra mile to insure their empty capsules meet high standards. They source bovine gelatine from trusted suppliers, and each batch is made with a focus on purity and consistency. The capsules are free from additives and preservatives, making them a clean carrier for your supplements. The conisnap design is engineered to cut down on breakage, a common hassle with cheaper capsules. Plus, the red colour adds some visual appeal, while the transparent shell still lets you check the contents. For DIY supplement makers, reliability is crucial, and XPRS Nutra delivers.

It's worth noting that these capsules aren't intended to replace a balanced diet or provide nutritional value themselves. Instead, they're a convenient vessel for your own custom blends. Always read the labelled and follow directions for use. Consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regime.

How to Fill These Capsules

Filling size 5 capsules is simple, even by hand. Because they're small, a capsule filling machine designed for size 5 can speed things up, but manual work works fine too. Here's how to do it:

1. Gently separate the capsule halves.
2. Fill the longer body with your powdered supplement using a small scoop or tamper.
3. Press the cap onto the body until you hear a click.
4. Store in a cool, dry place.

Thanks to the snap-shut design, you'll get a safe seal every time. The transparent shells let you check for consistency and avoid overfilling. For best results, grind your ingredients to a fine powder to maximise capacity and ease of swallowing.

FAQs About Empty Size 5 Capsules

What's the difference between size 5 and other capsule sizes?

Size 5 is the smallest standard size, typically holding 75–155 mg of powder. Larger sizes like 0 or 00 hold more, but size 5 is ideal for low-dose ingredients or those who prefer very small pills.

Are these capsules vegetarian or vegan?

No, these capsules are made from bovine gelatine, which is animal-derived. They're not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. Look for cellulose or HPMC capsules for plant-based options.

Can I use these for liquids or oils?

No, gelatine capsules aren't recommended for liquids or oils as they can soften and leak. They're best for dry powders and granules.

How should I store empty capsules?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid high humidity to keep the gelatine from becoming sticky or brittle.

Are these capsules safe to swallow?

Yes, gelatine capsules are commonly used and dissolve in the stomach. However, if you have specific allergies (e.g., to bovine products), check with a health care provider.
