Typical fill weight for size 5 is 75–155 mg. If you're filling denser powders like creatine or magnesium, consider larger sizes. For lightweight botanicals, size 5 provides accurate dosage without waste.

When selecting a capsule, also consider the form of your ingredient: fine powders fill more consistently than coarse ones. Always test a small batch first to ensure proper capsule fill and closure.
