Capsule Connection 500 Bulk Empty Vegetable Capsules, Size 0, Vegan and Vegetarian, Resealable Bag

Who Should Uses Empty Capsules?

Empty capsules are a fantastic tool for anyone who wants to take control of their supplement routine. If you're a herbalist, a DIY supplement enthusiast, or simply someone with specific dietary needs, these vegan-friendly capsules offer the flexibility to create your own blends without unwanted additives. They're also a cost-effective option for those who regularly consume powdered supplements and prefer to encapsulate them at home.

Individuals avoiding animal products will appreciate the plant-based HPMC material, while the kosher and halal certifications ensure suitability for diverse dietary requirements. Whether you're a naturopath preparing custom formulae or a hobbyist experimenting with superfoods, these capsules provide a reliable, pure delivery system.

What Are Empty Vegetable Capsules?

Empty vegetable capsules are a clever alternative to traditional gelatine capsules, made entirely from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), a plant-derived cellulose. Capsule Connection's 500-count bulk bag contains size 0 capsules, each capable of holding around 500 mg or roughly 1/7 teaspoon of your chosen powder. This makes them versatile enough for a wide range of formulations, from herbal mixes to vitamin blends.

Unlike gelatine capsules, these are naturally suitable for vegans and vegetarians. They dissolve easily in the digestive system and are free from common allergens, preservatives, and synthetic additives. Capsule Connection has been producing these high-quality capsules since 1973, ensuring consistency and purity with every batch.

Key Benefits of Using Empty Capsules

• Complete Control: You decide the dosage and ingredients, avoiding fillers, binders, and flow agents found in many commercial supplements.
• Purity Assurance: With only HPMC and purified water, these capsules are free from gluten, GMOs, and animal products.
• Dietary Compliance: Certified kosher and halal, making them suitable for a wide range of lifestyles.
• Convenient Bulk Packaging: The resealable bag keeps capsules fresh and protected, ready for your next project.
• Easy to Uses: Size 0 is a balance between capacity (500 mg) and ease of swallowing, ideal for most powders.

How to Choose the Right Capsule Size

Selecting the correct capsule size depends on your ingredient's volume and your desired dosage. Size 0, as offered here, is a popular middle ground. For reference:

• Size 00: Holds about 735 mg, suitable for denser powders or larger doses.
• Size 1: Holds about 400 mg, good for smaller hands or lower dosages.
• Size 0 (this product): The versatile choice, balancing capacity and swallowability.

If you're new to encapsulating, size 0 is an excellent starting point. Capsule Connection also offers other sizes if your needs vary.

Ingredients and Quality

Capsule Connection's empty vegetable capsules contain just two ingredients: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) from plant cellulose and purified water. No preservatives, additives, animal products, gluten, or genetically modified organisms. They are certified kosher and halal, reflecting their purity and adherence to religious dietary laws.

Since 1973, Capsule Connection has been manufacturing these capsules with a focus on consistent quality. They are the same company behind the popular Capsule Machine, a tool widely used by DIY encapsulators.
