What Are Empty Vegetarian Capsules?

Empty vegetarian capsules are a convenient and versatile way to personalise your supplement routine. Made from hypromellose, a plant-derived cellulose, they contain no animal products, making them ideal for vegans and vegetarians. The double "00" size, one of the most popular, can hold between 700 and 900 mg of most powdered vitamins, minerals, or herbal blends. Whether you want to customise your daily nutrient intake or avoid unnecessary additives found in pre-filled capsules, these capsules give you full control over what you take.

Benefits of Using Empty Capsules

Using empty capsules offers several advantages. You can tailor dosages to your specific needs and combine multiple supplements into one capsule for convenience. You also avoid fillers, binders, and other excipients often added to commercial products. NOW Foods Empty Vegetarian Capsules are certified non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, and free from soy, corn, sugar, nuts, and other common allergens. They are also Kosher certified. Made only from hypromellose and water, they are easy to digest and dissolve quickly in the stomach. These capsules are GMP Quality Assured, meaning every aspect of manufacturing—from raw material testing to final product—meets strict standards for potency and purity. The NPA A-rated GMP certification adds an extra layer of trust.

How to Fill Your Own Capsules

Filling empty capsules is straightforward. You'll need a capsule-filling machine or you can do it manually. Start by separating the capsule halves. Fill the larger half with your chosen powder, tapping gently to settle the contents. Then cap it with the smaller half. For precise dosing, use a scale to weigh the powder before filling. Store filled capsules in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always label your capsules with the contents and date. This DIY approach not only saves money but also ensures you know exactly what you're taking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these capsules for liquid or oil fills?

No, these capsules are designed for dry powders and granules. Liquids or oils can weaken the capsule shell, causing leakage. For oils, look for specialised softgel capsules.

How should I store empty capsules?

Keep them in a cool, dry place away from heat and moisture. The original bottle with a tight lid works well. Avoid storing in the bathroom or kitchen where humidity fluctuates.

Are these capsules suitable for sensitive stomachs?

Yes, because they are made only from hypromellose and water, they are generally well-tolerated and dissolve easily. They do not contain common irritants like gelatin or added preservatives.
