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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Fill Your Own Capsules\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFilling 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTop Tips for DIY Capsule Filling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses a fine powder for easier filling and more accurate dosage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore capsules in a cool, dry environment before-and-after filling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsider using desiccant packets if you live in a humid area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel your capsules with contents and dosage for easy identification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways consult a health care professional before starting any new supplement regimen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre these capsules easy to swallow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, size 1 capsules are relatively small and smooth, becoming slippery when wet, which makes them easy to swallow with water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I uses these for oil-based fills?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, gelatine capsules are not suitable for liquids or oils as they can soften and leak.
