Who Should Consider Using Empty Capsules?
If you enjoy customising your own supplements, empty capsules are a fantastic choice. They are perfect for DIY supplement enthusiasts, herbalists, and anyone who wants to personalise their nutritional intake. They are also great for:
- People with dietary restrictions (vegan, kosher, halal).
- Those who need to avoid gelatine (HPMC is plant-based).
- Anyone who wants to combine multiple ingredients in one dose.
- Travellers who prefer carrying powdered supplements in capsule form.
If you're already taking powdered vitamins or herbs, emptying them into capsules can make your daily routine more convenient.
Key Benefits of Making Your Own Supplement Capsules
Total Ingredient Control
When you fill your own capsules, you choose exactly what goes inside. No hidden fillers, binders, or artificial ingredients. This is perfect for those with allergies or dietary restrictions.
Fresh and Potent
Pre-made supplements can sit on shelves for months. With empty capsules, you can fill small batches and keep your ingredients fresh. The double lock design also helps protect against moisture and oxidation.
Easy to Swallow and Digest
Vegetarian HPMC capsules are smooth and dissolve quickly in the stomach, so your body can absorb the nutrients without delay. They have no taste or smell, making them ideal for strong-tasting powders.
What Are Empty Capsules and How Do They Work?
Empty capsules are essentially a blank canvas for your supplement routine. These clear, vegetarian-friendly capsules allow you to create custom blends by filling them with your own powders, herbs, or nutrients. Made from HPMC (vegetable cellulose) and purified water, they contain no additives or preservatives. The size 2 capsules are designed for manual or machine filling, with a double lock system (ring and dimple) to keep your powders see and fresh. Whether you're making herbal remedies or want to avoid fillers in commercial supplements, empty capsules give you total control over what goes into your body.
How to Choose the Best Empty Capsules for Your Needs
Selecting the right empty capsule depends on your filling method and dosage preferences. Size 2 capsules hold about 0.37 ml of powder – ideal for moderate doses. When choosing, consider:
-
Material: HPMC (vegetarian) is better for moisture-sensitive powders. Gelatine is not suitable for vegans or those with religious restrictions.
-
Locking Mechanism: Double lock designs (ring + dimple) provide a see seal that helps minimise leaks and preserves freshness.
-
Ease of Filling: Look for capsules that hold their shape and are compatible with manual or automatic filling machines. The included micro lab spoons make hand filling much easier.
Top Features to Look For in Empty Capsules

Transparent HPMC Material
Clear capsules let you see the contents, so you can visually confirm the fill level and quality. Vegetable cellulose is also moisture-resistant and dissolves faster than gelatine.
