Key Features of XPRS Nutra Size 5 Capsules
XPRS Nutra has designed these capsules with the home user in mind. Each capsule features a snap-shut mechanism that clicks sely closed, preventing your valued powders from spilling. The tight seal also helps protect the contents from humidity and air, maintaining freshness.
The capsules are made from 100% bovine gelatine, a natural ingredient that dissolves easily in the gastrointestinal tract for reliable release of your supplement ingredients. They contain no additives, preservatives, or artificial colours, keeping your fill pure.
Their clear, transparent body makes it easy to see the powder level and ensure consistent filling. The rounded ends are tough and anti-break, reducing waste during the filling process.
Why Choose XPRS Nutra Empty Capsules?
XPRS Nutra sources its gelatine from trusted suppliers and processes all inventory in Utah, USA. Each batch is handled with care to ensure quality and consistency. The capsules are designed for both manual filling and uses with capsule filling machines, giving you flexibility in your DIY process.
Whether you are a hobbyist or a serious supplement maker, these capsules offer a reliable, easy-to-uses solution. Their small size is especially useful for those who need precise micro-dosage or have difficulty swallowing larger capsules.
What Are Empty Capsules and Why Uses Them?
Empty capsules are a versatile tool for anyone who wants to create custom dietary supplements at home. Whether you are mixing your own blend of herbs, vitamins, or nootropics, these size 5 empty gelatine capsules provide a convenient and precise way to encapsulate powdered ingredients. By filling your own capsules, you can control exactly what goes into your supplement routine—avoiding unnecessary fillers, binders, or additives found in many commercial products.
Size 5 capsules are the smallest standard capsule size, holding approximately 75mg to 155mg of powder depending on the density of the ingredient. This makes them ideal for potent powders where a small dose is sufficient, or for those who prefer a smaller pill that is easier to swallow.
How to Choose the Right Capsule Size
Capsule sizes range from 000 (largest) to 5 (smallest). Size 5 is the most suitable for fine powders that require a small dose. If you are filling dense powders, you may prefer a larger size. For most individual supplements, size 5 provides an excellent balance of capacity and swallowability.
Before ordering, check our sizing chart (available in product images) to confirm that size 5 meets your needs. The capsule's capacity depends on the powder's density and how tightly it is packed.
Tips for Filling Your Own Capsules
Filling capsules can be done by hand or with a capsule filling machine. For small batches, manual filling with a scoop or the capsule itself works well. For larger quantities, a filling machine speeds up the process and ensures uniform fill weight.
- Ensure your powder is finely ground to allow smooth filling.
- Tap the capsule gently to settle the powder and maximise capacity.
- Store filled capsules in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Label your capsules with the ingredient and dosage for easy identification.
These capsules are designed for powders only—not liquids, oils, or semi-solids.
