Capsule Connection Separated Empty Pullulan Capsules, Size 0, Vegan & Vegetarian (5000 in Resealable Bag)

Who Undertake Empty Capsules?

Empty capsules are a favourite amongst health enthusiasts who want to personalise their supplement routine. They are ideal for anyone with dietary restrictions—vegan, kosher, or halal—who needs capsules that align with their values. Individuals who struggle with swallowing pills often find size 0 capsules easy to take, as they are relatively small and smooth. Small-scale supplement makers and herbalists also benefit from the separated design, which saves time when filling hundreds or thousands of capsules. Even occasional users appreciate the convenience and customisation that empty capsules offer.

Key Benefits of Using Empty Pullulan Capsules

Pullulan capsules provide several advantages over other types. Their oxygen barrier helps protect sensitive ingredients from oxidation, keeping your homemade supplements fresher for longer. The transparent nature of pullulan allows you to inspect the contents visually—a handy feature for quality control. These capsules are certified kosher and halal, and they are also gluten-free and non-GMO, making them suitable for health-conscious consumers. The resealable bag packaging (three separate bags: two for the separated components and one outer bag) ensures freshness and organised storage, shielding the capsules from moisture and contamination.

Because the capsules come already separated, you can fill them up to 40 minutes faster per thousand capsules. No more tedious prying apart of tops and bottoms before filling. This efficiency boost is a real-time-saver for regular users.

Understanding Separated Empty Pullulan Capsules

Separated empty capsules are a game-changer for DIY supplement filling. Instead of receiving capsules with tops and bottoms connected, you get the bottoms in one bag and the tops in another. This design makes the filling process much quicker—just grab a bottom piece, fill it, and cap it. These capsules are made from pullulan, a natural polysaccharide derived from tapioca starch. Pullulan is known for its clarity, strength, and low moisture content. Size 0 capsules hold approximately 500 mg (about 1/7 teaspoon) of powder, making them versatile for a wide range of supplements.

How to Choose the Right Capsule Size

Capsule size is determined by the volume they can hold. Size 0 is a common choice for supplements, holding around 500 mg of powder (depending on density). If you need a specific dosage, consider the amount per serving. For 500–600 mg, size 0 is a good fit. For smaller doses, sizes 1 or 2 are available; for larger doses, sizes 00 or 000 may be required. Smaller sizes are easier to swallow but hold less; size 0 is a popular middle ground. These pullulan capsules dissolve quickly and have a smooth texture, making swallowing more comfortable.

Quality and Manufacturing Standards

Capsule Connection is a reputable brand in the empty capsule market. These capsules are manufactured in facilities with strict quality control standards. The pullulan is sourced from tapioca, a renewable resource. Manufacturing focuses on consistent size and wall thickness, ensuring reliable performance every time. The capsules are free from common allergens such as gluten, soya, and dairy, and they dissolve rapidly in the stomach for efficient release of contents. The resealable packaging maintains freshness and protects against humidity.

FAQs About Pullulan Capsules

What is the difference between pullulan and gelatin capsules? Pullulan is plant-based (vegan), while gelatin is animal-derived. Pullulan is more stable in dry environments and has lower oxygen permeability, which helps preserve ingredients.

Can I undertake these capsules for liquids or oils? No, they are designed for dry powders. For oils or liquids, you would need soft gel capsules or liquid-fill hard capsules.

How should I store the capsules? Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The resealable bags help maintain low humidity.

Are these capsules suitable for filling machines? Yes, but because they come separated, you may need to adapt your filling process. Many manual filling machines work well with separated capsules.

How many capsules are in a bag? This listing includes 5000 capsules in total, with the tops and bottoms separated into two bags, both packed in an outer resealable bag.
