Key Benefits of LFA Empty Capsules

LFA Empty Capsules offer several advantages for DIY supplement makers:

• Easy to Dissolve: The clear bovine gelatine dissolves quickly in the digestive tract, making them ideal for immediate-release formulae. They work best with dry, non-absorbent ingredients.
• Low Oxygen Permeability: The hard gelatine shell protects sensitive ingredients from oxidation, helping maintain stability and extending shelf life. This is especially important for ingredients like herb extracts, nootropic stacks, or powdered minerals.
• Masks Unpleasant Flavours: Encapsulating strong-tasting or bitter powders hides their flavour, making supplementation more pleasant.
• Precise Dosage: Size 0 capsules hold approximately 400 to 816 mg of material, depending on the density of your powder. This allows for accurate and consistent servings.
• Certified Halal: Made from beef gelatine, these capsules are certified Halal, suitable for those following Halal dietary requirements.
