Why Choose Size 1 Capsules for Your Supplements?
Size 1 capsules strike the perfect balance for homemade supplements, offering a capacity of 300 mg to 600 mg per capsule. This range suits a wide variety of powdered ingredients, from dense minerals to lighter herbal powders. The size is easy to handle manually or with capsule filling machines, making the process efficient and accurate. For those who find size 0 or 00 too large and size 2 too small, size 1 is the ideal middle ground. XPRS Nutra capsules feature smooth, rounded ends that reduce breakage during filling, and their transparent design helps you avoid overfilling or underfilling, ensuring consistent doses every time.

How to Fill Your Own Capsules
Filling your own capsules is straightforward with XPRS Nutra empty capsules. Start by preparing your powdered supplement in a clean, dry container. If using a manual filling machine, align the capsules in the tray and separate the caps from the bodies. Pour the powder over the openings and spread it evenly using a scraper. Once filled, press the caps back onto the bodies until they click shut. The snap-shut mechanism ensures a tight seal, preventing leaks and protecting the contents from humidity.
For manual filling without a machine, simply separate the two halves, fill the body with powder using a small scoop or a capsule filling funnel, then press the cap on. The transparent material allows you to see that the capsule is properly filled. After sealing, store your capsules in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Always label your capsules with the ingredient and date for easy identification.
