NOW Foods Empty Vegetarian Capsules, Size 00, 250 Capsules

Why Choose Vegetarian Capsules?

Vegetarian capsules offer a popular alternative to traditional gelatin capsules, especially for those following a plant-based lifestyle. Made from hypromellose, a cellulose derived from pine and spruce trees, these capsules dissolve readily in the stomach. They are shelf-stable and do not require special storage conditions. NOW Foods empty vegetarian capsules contain just two ingredients: hypromellose and purified water. They are free from preservatives, allergens, and animal by-products, and are certified non-GMO, gluten-free, and kosher.

What Are Empty Vegetarian Capsules?

Empty vegetarian capsules provide a convenient means to create your own customised supplement doses. Free from animal products, they are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. They offer a straightforward, mess-free method for encapsulating powders, herbs, or other dry ingredients, enabling you to tailor your supplement routine to your specific requirements.

How to Fill Empty Capsules

Filling your own capsules is simple. Begin by selecting a powder or blend you trust. Use a capsule filling machine or fill manually. The double "00" size holds approximately 700–900 mg of powder, depending on density. Press the powder into the capsule body, cap it, and store in a cool, dry place. Always weigh the filled capsule to ensure consistent dosing. Clean your equipment thoroughly between use.

Every step—from raw material sourcing to final packaging—is carefully monitored. The capsules are tested for stability, potency, and purity. This commitment to quality gives you confidence in your DIY supplement projects.
