NOW Supplements, Empty Vegetarian Capsules, Size "0", 1,000 Count

Who Should Use Empty Capsules?

Empty capsules are perfect for anyone wanting to take control of their supplement routine. Health enthusiasts who prefer custom blends of vitamins, minerals, or nootropics will find them invaluable. Individuals with allergies or sensitivities can avoid common fillers found in commercial supplements. Those on specific diets can supplement with rare nutrients, and DIY supplement makers can create small batches at home. Travellers also benefit, packing only what they need without multiple bottles.

Key Benefits of Using Empty Capsules

A major advantage is the ability to customise your dosage. Whether you need a higher dose of a specific nutrient or want to combine multiple supplements into one capsule, empty capsules make it easy. They also help those who dislike the taste of certain powders—simply fill and swallow.

Purity is another benefit. With NOW Empty Vegetarian Capsules, you know exactly what goes into your body. There are no hidden ingredients, fillers, or flow agents often found in pre-filled capsules, making them ideal for people sensitive to additives like magnesium stearate or silicon dioxide.

These capsules are easy to digest. Made with just hypromellose and water, they dissolve quickly in the stomach, releg contents efficiently. They suit those with dietary restrictions as they are vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, soy-free, corn-free, sugar-free, and nut-free, with a Kosher certification.

How to Choose the Right Capsule Size

Selecting the right capsule size depends on the amount of powder per serving. Size "0" capsules hold approximately 400–600 mg of most powdered substances, making them the most versatile size for adult supplementation. For smaller doses, size "00" holds more, while sizes "1" or "2" hold less. Size "0" strikes a balance between capacity and ease of swallowing.

When filling, use a consistent tamping method to ensure even doses. A capsule filling machine helps achieve uniformity, but manual filling by tapping the capsule into the powder works well.

FAQs About Empty Capsules

Can I fill these capsules with liquids or oils?

These capsules are designed for dry powders. For liquids or oils, look for softgels or special liquid-filled capsules. Hypromellose capsules can become brittle or leak if filled with liquids.

How do I store empty capsules?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. In humid environments, capsules may soften or stick together. Use an airtight container for long-term storage.

Are these capsules suitable for vegans?

Yes, as they are made from plant-derived hypromellose, they are 100% vegan and vegetarian-friendly.

Can I open and mix the contents?

Absolutely! Open the capsules and mix the powder into food or drink if you prefer not to swallow them whole. Some powders may have an unpleasant taste.
