Frequently Asked Questions
Are these capsules suitable for vegans?
No, these capsules are made from bovine gelatine, which is an animal product. For a vegan alternative, consider using cellulose-based capsules.
What size is “0” and how much does it hold?
Size 0 capsules are approximately 19.8 mm (0.78 inches) in length and can hold up to 0.68 mL of material, depending on density. This makes them a versatile middle ground between smaller (size 1) and larger (size 00) capsules.
Do these capsules have a taste or odour?
Pharmaceutical-grade gelatine is virtually tasteless and odourless, so your supplements will not be affected by any off-flavours. The capsules themselves are neutral.
How should I store unused capsules?
Keep them in a cool, dry environment, ideally below 25°C (77°F) and away from humidity. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, which can cause the gelatine to soften or become brittle.
Can I uses these for oil-based fillings?
Gelatine capsules are primarily designed for dry powders. For oils or liquids, consider using softgels or specially designed liquid-fill capsules. Using these for oils may cause leakage.
