How to Use Empty Gelatin Capsules

Filling empty capsules is simple, but proper technique ensures accurate dosing. Start by separating the capsule body from the cap. Fill the larger body with your powder using a small scoop or a capsule filling machine. A filling machine improves consistency and speed, especially for large batches. After filling, press the cap firmly onto the body. For best results, use a machine made for size 0 capsules. Always maintain good hygiene: work on a clean surface, wear gloves if desired, and store finished capsules in an airtight container away from moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gel Caps

Are these capsules vegetarian or vegan?

These are gelatin capsules derived from animal sources (usually bovine or porcine). They are not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. For plant-based options, look for vegetarian capsules made from cellulose or other non-animal materials.

How much powder does a size 0 capsule hold?

A size 0 capsule typically holds between 400 and 600 mg of powder, depending on powder density. For common supplement powders, expect about 500 mg per capsule.

Can I use these capsules for liquids or oils?

Hard gelatin capsules are for dry powders only. They are not suitable for liquids or oils as they can dissolve or leak. For liquid fills, use softgel capsules or special sealing techniques.

How should I store empty capsules?

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent capsules from becoming brittle or sticky.
