Choosing the Right Capsule Size
Size 3 capsules are on the smaller side, holding up to 500 mg of powder (typically around 350 mg with average density). They are ideal for measuring small doses or for those who prefer a more compact pill. However, some users find them too small for certain applications—for example, fitting larger tablets or high-volume supplements. If you need larger capsules, consider size 0 or 00. The smaller size can also be a challenge for individuals with limited dexterity, as noted in some customer feedback.
When selecting capsule size, think about the volume of your supplement powder and the desired dose per capsule. Size 3 works well for potent powders where a single capsule provides an effective dose. For bulkier herbs or blends, larger sizes may be more convenient.

How to Fill Gelatine Capsules
Filling empty gelatine capsules is straightforward. Begin by separating the cap and body of each capsule. Uses a capsule filling machine for larger batches, or fill manually with a small scoop or spatula. For size 3 capsules, typical fill weight is approximately 350 mg, depending on powder density. Fill each body completely, then press the cap back on. Store filled capsules in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
