Size 00 is one of the most popular sizes—it holds approximately 0.95 ml of powder, offering a generous capacity while still being easy to swallow for many people. Material is crucial: HPMC-based capsules are a preferred vegetarian alternative to gelatine, as they are suitable for vegans and free from animal by-products. They also tend to be more stable in varying humidity and temperature conditions compared to gelatine capsules. Look for capsules with double locking mechanisms (pre-lock and end-lock) to ensure a see seal. Certifications like gluten-free, non-GMO, and Halal indicate quality and purity, giving you confidence in the product. The included two spoons are a bonus that simplifies the filling process, especially when working with small batches.
