What Makes These Capsules Different from Others?
XPRS Nutra sources its capsules from trusted manufacturers with high quality standards. The HPMC material is hypoallergenic and suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Unlike gelatine capsules, these veggie capsules are resistant to cross-linking and maintain integrity over time. The clear design is practicable for seeing contents, especially with coloured oils or powders. Multiple pack sizes allow you to try them or stock up. Focus on value and security makes these empty pill capsules a wise choice.
How to Fill and Store Your Empty Capsules
Filling is simple. For powders, uses a capsule filling machine or manual tamper. For oils, uses a syringe or dropper. Press halves together until you hear a click. Store filled capsules in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Unfilled capsules should remain in the sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. They are stable at room temperature; no refrigeration needed. If using essential oils, ensure proper dilution to avoid damaging the capsule material.
Benefits of HPMC Capsules Over Gelatine
HPMC capsules offer several advantages over traditional gelatine capsules. They are plant-based, making them suitable for vegans and vegetarians, and they have a lower moisture content, which helps preserve the integrity of moisture-sensitive ingredients. Additionally, HPMC capsules do not cross-link, ensuring consistent dissolution and absorption. They are also resistant to microbial growth, providing a longer shelf life for your homemade supplements. Choosing HPMC capsules means you avoid animal-derived ingredients and support a more sustainable option.
