Understanding Capsule Sizes: Why Size 000?
Capsule sizes vary from 000 (largest) to 5 (smallest). Size 000 is ideal for high-dose supplements such as herbal blends, probiotics, or powdered vitamins. With a capacity of approximately 1 gram of powder, you can achieve your desired dosage with fewer capsules. For lower doses or if swallowing larger capsules is difficult, consider sizes 00 or 0. Choosing the right size depends on your specific needs; Size 000 excels for bulky ingredients like powdered greens or fibre.

How should I store empty gelatine capsules?

Can I fill these capsules with liquids or oils?
