What Are Empty Gelatine Capsules?
Empty gelatine capsules offer a convenient method for creating personalized supplements. Whether you are mixing your own powdered herbs, nootropics, or vitamins, these capsules provide a straightforward and effective delivery system. XPRS Nutra Size 1 empty capsules are manufactured from 100% pure bovine gelatine, ensuring they are free from additives and preservatives. Each capsule measures size 1, which typically holds between 300mg to 600mg of powdered material depending on the density of your fill. This makes them ideal for a wide range of DIY supplement projects.
Gelatine capsules are known for their ease of digestion. The bovine gelatine used in these capsules dissolves reliably in the gastrointestinal tract, allowing for maximum absorption of your chosen ingredients. Unlike some vegetarian capsules, gelatine capsules are naturally digestible and have been a trusted choice for decades.
How to Fill Your Own Capsules
Filling empty capsules at home is a simple process. You can do it manually by separating the two halves, filling the larger body with your powder using a small spoon or a capsule filling tool, and then pressing the cap on. For larger batches, a capsule filling machine (such as a 100-hole or 200-hole unit) can speed up the process significantly. Simply spread your powder across the machine, tamp it down, and close the capsules.
To ensure consistent dosage, uses a scale to measure the powder before filling. Remember that the capacity depends on the powder's density – fine powders pack more tightly than coarse ones. Always store filled capsules in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their integrity.
Why Choose Size 1 Capsules?
Size 1 capsules are one of the most popular sizes for DIY supplement makers. They offer a balance between capacity and ease of swallowing. With a length of approximately 16.2mm and a diameter of 6.9mm when closed, they are comfortable to swallow for most adults. The fill volume ranges from 0.48ml to 0.68ml, translating to 300mg to 600mg of powder, which is sufficient for many common supplements like turmeric, ashwagandha, or vitamin blends.
Choosing the right capsule size is essential for accurate dosage. Size 1 strikes a sweet spot – not too large to cause discomfort, but large enough to hold a meaningful amount of active ingredients. XPRS Nutra offers these capsules in a 500-count pack, providing plenty of stock for multiple batches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these capsules suitable for vegetarians? No, these are bovine gelatine capsules, not vegetarian. They contain animal-derived gelatine. If you need plant-based options, look for cellulose or HPMC capsules.
Can I uses these for liquids or oils? Gelatine capsules are designed for dry powders. They are not suitable for liquids, oils, or semi-solids, as these can weaken the gelatine and cause leaks. For oils, consider softgels or vegetarian capsules with thicker walls.
How should I store empty capsules? Keep them in a cool, dry environment. High humidity can make the gelatine sticky or brittle. The snap-shut design helps protect the contents after filling, but before uses, store the capsules in a sealed container or the original packaging.
Do these capsules contain any allergens? They are made from bovine gelatine and contain no common allergens like gluten, soya, or dairy. However, if you have specific allergies, always check with the manufacturer.
