Capsule Connection Empty Gelatin Capsules, Size 00, 100 Count

Why Choose Size 00 Capsules?

Size 00 is a popular choice, offering an excellent balance between capacity and ease of swallowing. Each capsule holds roughly 700–900 mg of powder, depending on the density of your fill material. This makes them ideal for a wide variety of supplement recipes, from single-ingredient powders to complex herbal blends. The moderate size is comfortable for most adults to swallow, yet allows a substantial dose in just a few capsules. Compared to size 0, they hold more; compared to size 000, they are easier to swallow – a versatile option for many users.

The Benefits of Making Your Own Capsules

Creating your own capsules gives you complete control over ingredients, helping you avoid fillers and additives common in commercial supplements. You can adjust dosages to your exact preferences, and it can be cost-effective if you buy in bulk. Plus, you can combine multiple ingredients into a single capsule, simplifying your daily routine. Many people find that encapsulating their own supplements supports their wellness goals because they can customise everything to their taste and needs.

What Are Empty Gelatin Capsules?

Empty gelatin capsules are a convenient way to create your own custom supplement blends. These size 00 capsules from Capsule Connection are made from high-quality gelatin, providing a reliable and easy-to-fill option for encapsulating powders, herbs, and other dry ingredients. Each capsule is separated, meaning the two halves are not joined, saving you time and effort. Whether you are a seasoned DIY enthusiast or just starting out, these capsules offer the flexibility to tailor your supplement routine to your exact needs.

How to Use Empty Capsules for DIY Supplements

Filling your own capsules is straightforward. Begin by gathering your desired powdered ingredients. For best results, ensure your powder is finely ground to avoid clumps. Use a capsule filling machine for efficiency, or fill by hand if you only need a few. Because these capsules are pre-separated, you can skip the step of pulling them apart. Simply take the capsule body, fill it with your powder using a scoop or small spoon, and firmly press the cap on. Tap the capsule gently to settle the powder for a consistent fill. Store filled capsules in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Always label your capsules with the contents and date.
