LFA Tablet Presses Empty Gelatine Capsules - Size 0 - 5000 Count - Halal

Key Benefits of Using Empty Capsules

Empty capsules offer a fantastic way to personalise your supplement routine. The gelatine shells dissolve rapidly in the stomach, making them ideal for immediate-release formulations. Their low oxygen permeability helps protect sensitive ingredients from oxidation, extending shelf life and maintaining potency. Moreover, they effectively mask the strong or unpleasant taste of certain powders, such as nootropic blends or herbal extracts, so you can avoid the flavour of raw ingredients.

How to Choose the Right Capsule Size

Choosing the correct capsule size depends on your desired dosage and ingredient density. Size 0 capsules have a diameter of 0.3 inches and a length of 0.85 inches, holding between 400 and 816 mg of material. This makes them perfect for high-volume servings like collagen, amino acids, or antioxidants. For smaller doses, consider Size 1 or 2; for even larger capacities, Size 00 or 000 are available. Always consult a capsule size chart to match your needs.

What Are Empty Capsules?

Empty capsules are pre-formed gelatine shells designed for filling with dry ingredients, such as powdered vitamins, herbal blends, or dietary supplements. They come in various sizes, with Size 0 being a popular medium-large option. These capsules are made from clear bovine gelatine, are Halal-certified, and are manufactured in the USA in a cGMP-compliant facility. They are ideal for creating custom supplement formulations at home or for small-scale production.

How to Fill Empty Capsules

Filling empty capsules can be done by hand or with a capsule filling machine. For small batches, manually separate the capsule halves, fill the body with your chosen powder using a small scoop or a filling tray, then press the cap back on. For larger quantities, LFA Tablet Presses offers compatible capsule filling machines to streamline the process.
