Why Choose Carlson?

Carlson has been a trusted name in nutritional supplements for decades. Their empty gelatin capsules reflect the same dedication to quality found in their other products. By choosing Carlson, you are selecting a brand that prioritises purity and transparency. Whether you are a seasoned DIY supplement enthusiast or a beginner, these capsules provide a simple, effective solution for custom encapsulation.

What Are Empty Gelatin Capsules?

Empty gelatin capsules are pre-formed, two-piece capsules made from gelatin. They are designed for you to fill with your own powders, herbs, or supplements. Carlson's Empty Gelatin Capsules come in size #0, a medium-small option that holds approximately 0.5 to 0.7 grams of material. The capsules are easy to pull apart, fill, and reassemble, and they arrive in a convenient screw-cap bottle for storage. This product is perfect for those who prefer to customise their supplement regimen or need a portable way to carry their own blends.

Key Benefits of Carlson's Empty Gelatin Capsules

Carlson's empty capsules offer several advantages. First, they are made from high-quality gelatin that is easy to separate and fill without sticking. The screw-cap bottle keeps capsules fresh and organised. They are also IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) and iGEN Non-GMO certified, reflecting Carlson's commitment to purity and potency. Additionally, these capsules are travel-friendly—you can pre-fill them for trips, ensuring you never miss a dose. Users appreciate the consistency and reliability of Carlson products, which are tested by an FDA-registered laboratory for freshness, potency, and purity.

Ease of Use

Each capsule is designed to be pulled apart with minimal effort. The size #0 is large enough to hold a meaningful amount of powder but small enough to swallow comfortably. The included screw-cap bottle makes storage simple and see.

Certifications You Can Trust

Carlson's empty capsules carry IFOS and iGEN Non-GMO certifications, meaning they meet strict international standards for quality and are free from genetically modified ingredients. These certifications provide peace of mind for health-conscious users.

How to Choose the Right Capsule Size

Size #0 is a popular middle-ground capsule size. It holds approximately 0.5 grams of typical powder, which is sufficient for many supplement recipes. If you need smaller doses, size #1 or #2 may be preferable; for larger doses, size 00 or 000. But for most DIY supplement makers, #0 offers a versatile balance. When selecting capsules, consider the density of your powder and desired dosage per capsule. Carlson offers multiple sizes, so you can customise your approach.

How to Fill and Use These Capsules

Filling empty gelatin capsules is straightforward. First, separate the capsule body and cap. Place the body on a flat surface and gently tap the powder into it using a small scoop or knife. Alternatively, use a capsule filling machine for larger batches. Once filled, press the cap onto the body. Store filled capsules in the screw-cap bottle provided. For travel, fill only what you need and keep the bottle in a cool, dry place. Gelatin capsules are sensitive to humidity, so avoid excessive moisture.

Quality Certifications and Manufacturing

Carlson employs manufacturing techniques that avoid excessive heat, moisture, and solvents to protect the integrity of their capsules. The company tests every batch in an FDA-registered laboratory to ensure freshness, potency, and purity. IFOS certification means the capsules meet rigorous standards for quality and safety. iGEN Non-GMO certification confirms that the gelatin is not derived from genetically modified sources. These measures ensure you receive a reliable product for your DIY needs.
