Capsuline Size 1 Empty Gelatine Capsules, Clear - 1000 Count

Key Features: Farma Lock Technology and Quality Ingredients

The hallmark of Capsuline’s empty capsules is the exclusive Farma Lock technology, a precision-engineered locking system that ensures the two halves stay sely sealed during and after filling. This minimises leakage and waste of your valuable powders or oils. The lock is designed to withstand handling, shipping, and storage, giving you confidence that your supplements remain intact.

The gelatine itself is of the highest purity: pharmaceutical-grade bovine hide, processed without genetically modified organisms. Each batch is tested for compliance with health standards, and the facilities follow Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). This attention to detail means you can trust the capsules to be free from contaminants and allergens. For those with sensitive systems, the hypoallergenic nature of the gelatine adds peace of mind.

How to Uses Empty Capsules for DIY Supplements

Filling empty capsules at home is straightforward. You’ll need your chosen powder or blend, a capsule filling machine (or manual method), and a consistent technique. Begin by ensuring your powder is finely ground and homogeneous. Separate the capsule halves, fill the larger body with the powder, and then cap it with the smaller half. For larger batches, a capsule filling machine speeds up the process and ensures consistent dosage.

Capsules can hold both dry powders and small amounts of liquid (like oils), whilst liquids may require special sealing techniques. For dry fills, tamp the powder gently to maximise capacity. The recommended storage for filled capsules is a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The gelatine shells themselves have a long shelf life if kept in their original container.

With Capsuline’s Size 1 capsules, each capsule typically holds about 400-500 mg of powder, depending on the density of your material. This size is ideal for common supplements like turmeric, ashwagandha, or amino acid blends. Always uses accurate scales and record your formulations for consistency.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Capsule Size

Capsule size matters for ease of swallowing and dosage accuracy. Size 1 capsules are amongst the most popular for general uses. They are smaller than Size 00 or 0, making them easier to swallow for many people, yet large enough to hold a meaningful dose of most powders. For reference, a Size 1 capsule is about 0.68 inches long and holds roughly 400-500 mg of powder (depending on density).

If you are new to DIY encapsulation, starting with Size 1 is a wise choice. It balances capacity with swallowability. Capsuline also offers other sizes, so you can experiment to find the best fit for your specific ingredients. Using the correct size ensures your capsules are neither underfilled (wasting space) nor overfilled (difficult to close).
