Why Opt for Vegan Separated Capsules?
Ever thought about customising your own supplements? Vegan separated capsules provide a plant-based way to fill your own powdered ingredients. Unlike pre-filled capsules, they give you complete control over exactly what you consume. XPRS Nutra's Size 00 separated capsules arrive pre-split into caps and bodies, saving you the tedious step of pulling them apart – a real-time-saver when using a capsule filling tray.
Whether you're blending herbal mixes, experimenting with nootropics, or simply avoiding additives in commercial supplements, empty capsules offer a customisable solution. The 00 size is amongst the most popular, handling between 600 mg and 1100 mg of powder, depending on density.
Why Choose Vegan HPMC Capsules Over Gelatine?
Gelatine capsules are made from animal collagen, which may not suit vegan or vegetarian lifestyles. HPMC capsules, by contrast, are plant-based, hypoallergenic, and have lower moisture content – ideal for hygroscopic powders. They also boast a longer shelf life and remain stable under varying humidity. For those with religious or ethical concerns, HPMC is a clean alternative without sacrificing performance. They dissolve at a similar rate to gelatine and are widely accepted in the supplement industry. XPRS Nutra's capsules are crafted from high-quality vegetable cellulose, ensuring reliable consistency.

How to Fill Your Own Capsules at Home
Filling your own capsules is straightforward with the right equipment. You will need a capsule filling machine (sold separately) and your chosen powder. Start by placing the capsule bodies into the tray, then distribute the powder evenly using the included tamper. Once filled, snap the capsule caps into place.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Capsule Filling
To maximise efficiency, work in small batches and keep your workspace clean. Uses a funnel or capsule filler to minimise spillage.
