What Are Empty Vegetarian Capsules?

Empty vegetarian capsules are a convenient, customisable method for taking your own supplements. Crafted from hypromellose (a plant-based cellulose), they can be filled with powdered vitamins, minerals, or herbal blends. This allows you full control over your supplement regimen, ensuring you get exactly what you need without unnecessary fillers or additives. Size '0' holds between 400 and 600 mg of most powdered substances, making them ideal for a wide range of homemade supplement mixes.

Who Should Use Empty Capsules?

Empty capsules are perfect for anyone wanting to take command of their supplement routine. They are especially popular among:

• Health enthusiasts who enjoy custom blends of vitamins, minerals, or nootropics.
• Individuals with allergies or sensitivities needing to avoid common fillers.
• People on specific diets supplementing with rare or hard-to-find nutrients.
• DIY supplement makers creating small batches at home.
• Travellers who wish to pack only the supplements they need without multiple bottles.

How to Choose the Right Capsule Size

Choosing the correct capsule size depends on the powder amount per serving. Size '0' holds approximately 400–600 mg of most powders, making it the most versatile for adult supplementation. For smaller doses (children or micro-dosing), size '00' holds more, while size '1' or '2' holds less. Size '0' generally strikes the best balance between capacity and ease of swallowing.

When filling, use a consistent tamping method for uniform doses. A capsule filling machine can help, but manual filling by tapping the capsule into the powder works well too.

FAQs About Empty Capsules

Can I fill these capsules with liquids or oils?

These capsules are intended for dry powders only. For liquids or oils, look for softgels or special liquid-filled capsules. Hypromellose capsules may become brittle or leak if filled with liquids.

Can I open and mix the contents?

Absolutely. You can open the capsules and mix the powder into food or drink if you prefer not to swallow them whole. However, some powders may have an unpleasant flavour.

How many capsules come in a bottle?

Each bottle contains 1,000 size '0' capsules, providing a generous supply for regular use.
