Why Choose Size 0 Capsules for Your DIY Supplements?
Size 0 is one of the most popular capsule sizes because it offers a generous capacity without being too large to swallow. Each capsule holds approximately 400–816 mg of powder, making it ideal for high-volume ingredients like collagen, amino acids, and antioxidants. The dimensions are 7.6 mm in diameter and 21.6 mm in length, which is comfortable for most adults and even some pets. If you are formulating nootropic stacks, herbal blends, or dietary mineral supplements, size 0 provides the perfect balance between dose size and ease of swallowing.
How to Uses Empty Capsules for Custom Formulations
Filling these capsules is straightforward. You can uses a capsule filling tray or an automatic capsule filling machine for larger batches. Simply separate the capsule body and cap, fill the body with your dry powder, pellet, or herb, then press the cap back on. For best results, uses dry, non-absorbent ingredients. Avoid moisture-sensitive or hygroscopic substances, as they can cause the capsules to soften or dissolve prematurely. The capsules come pre-joined, so you just need to pull them apart before filling.
These capsules are also suitable for encapsulating supplements for pets. Always consult your veterinarian to determine the correct dosage for your animal. Because the capsules are clear, you can easily see the contents and verify that each capsule is filled uniformly.
