Capsule Size 1: A Versatile Option

Size 1 capsules strike a balance between capacity and ease of swallowing. They can hold approximately 300 to 600 mg of powdered material, depending on the density of your blend. If you are new to capsule making, this size is a great starting point. For comparison, size 0 holds about 500–700 mg, and size 00 holds 600–1000 mg. Consider the density of your powder—finer powders pack more densely—and choose accordingly.

The Advantages of Bovine Gelatine

Bovine gelatine is a well-established capsule material with a long history in the supplement industry. Derived from collagen, it dissolves quickly in the stomach, allowing efficient absorption of your ingredients. It also has a lower moisture content than some plant-based alternatives, which helps protect moisture-sensitive powders. Gelatine capsules are economical and widely accepted. For those following a vegetarian or vegan diet, XPRS Nutra also offer vegetable capsules made from HPMC.

How to Fill Your Own Capsules

Filling capsules can be done manually or with a capsule filling machine. For manual filling, start by separating the capsule body from the cap. Press the open end of the body into your powder pile repeatedly until it is filled, tamping gently to remove air pockets. Then align the cap and press it onto the body until it clicks shut. For larger quantities, a filling machine can handle 50–100 capsules at once, ensuring uniform fill weights. Our capsules are designed to work with most common machines.

Top Tips for DIY Capsule Filling

• Store capsules in a cool, dry environment before-and-after filling.
• Consider using desiccant packets if you live in a humid area.
• Label your capsules with contents and dosage for easy identification.
