Key Benefits of HPMC Capsules

Hypromellose capsules come with several distinct advantages for homemade supplement makers:

• Vegan and Vegetarian: Suitable for plant-based diets, certified Halal and Kosher.
• Low Moisture Content: Reduces the risk of ingredient clumping or degradation, especially with hygroscopic powders.
• Stable in Humid Environments: The shell holds up against humidity, protecting your ingredients.
• Compatible with Sensitive Ingredients: Inert and pH-neutral, works well with probiotics, enzymes, and liquid oils.
• Customisable Dosage: Size 3 holds approximately 160–330 mg, making it easy to create low-dose formulations.

These capsules are also third-party tested for quality assurance and packaged in a tamper-proof jar to minimise defects.

What Are HPMC Empty Capsules?

Derived from cellulose, HPMC (hypromellose) capsules are a plant-derived alternative to traditional gelatine capsules. These size 3 capsules are clear, allowing you to see the contents, and are designed for DIY supplement creation. Their low-moisture formulation means they dissolve more slowly, making them suitable for slow-release applications and protecting moisture-sensitive ingredients like probiotics. The capsules are pre-joined for easy separation and filling, compatible with capsule filling trays or manual processes. They are produced in the USA and come in a convenient 500-count jar.

How to Choose the Right Capsule Size

Capsule size selection depends on the volume and density of your powder. Size 3 capsules measure approximately 5.8 mm in diameter and 15.7 mm in length, holding between 160 and 330 mg of powder depending on density. For larger doses, consider size 0 or 00. Always test your powder's density before committing to a size; fillers like rice flour can adjust volume. LFA Tablet Presses offers compatible capsule machines for efficient filling.
