Why Choose Vegan HPMC Capsules?
HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) is a plant-based polymer derived from cellulose, making these capsules suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Unlike gelatine capsules, they are stable in various climates and require no preservatives. XPRS Nutra capsules contain no additives or preservatives, ensuring purity. HPMC capsules have lower moisture content than gelatine, making them ideal for hygroscopic ingredients. They also comply with many religious dietary restrictions, such as halal and kosher, when certified.

These capsules are ideal for encapsulating custom blends of vitamins, minerals, herbs, or nootropics. Made from 100% HPMC, they are vegetarian and free from additives or preservatives. The forest green colour adds a professional look to your homemade supplements.
How to Fill Your Own Capsules
Filling your own capsules is simple and rewarding. You can uses a manual capsule filler machine or fill by hand. For manual filling, separate the capsule bodies and caps, fill the bodies with your powder using a tamper, and press the caps on. For hand filling, pinch the capsule body and scoop it into the powder, then cap it. Size 4 capsules are small enough for precise dosage but large enough to hold a meaningful amount. Always work in a clean environment to avoid contamination. With practice, you can fill dozens in minutes.
Choosing the Right Capsule Size
Capsule size determines how much powder each capsule can hold. Size 4 is on the smaller end—ideal for potent powders where only a small dose is needed, or for those who prefer smaller pills. If you need larger doses, consider size 0 or 00. Knowing your ingredient densities helps select the right size. For example, 120–240 mg per capsule works well for most herbal powders and many vitamin blends.
