Quality and Safety of NOW Foods Empty Capsules

NOW Foods is a trusted name in the supplement world, known for its commitment to quality from start to finish. These empty gelatin capsules are produced in a GMP-certified facility that undergoes frequent inspections, ensuring every batch meets rigorous standards of purity and stability. With No binders, fillers, or preservatives, each capsule is simply bovine gelatin and purified water. They are also non-GMO, gluten-free, and free from common allergens like soy, corn, and nuts, giving you peace of mind in your DIY supplement making.

What Are #3 Empty Gelatin Capsules?

These empty gelatin capsules from NOW Foods are size #3, an extra small format commonly used for filling with powdered vitamins, minerals, or herbal blends. Each capsule typically holds between 150 and 200 mg of most powders, making them ideal for precise dosing of potent ingredients. Made from bovine gelatin and purified water, they contain No artificial additives, flavors, or preservatives. Whether you're a seasoned DIY supplement maker or just starting out, these capsules provide a reliable and clean solution for your custom formulations.

Why Choose Bovine Gelatin?

Bovine gelatin, derived from cow hides and bones, is a traditional capsule material known for its digestibility and stability under normal storage conditions. Unlike porcine (pork) gelatin, it is suitable for those who avoid pork products for dietary or religious reasons. Gelatin capsules are also favoured because they are easy to swallow and dissolve quickly in the stomach. NOW Foods sources its gelatin from healthy animals and processes it to high purity standards, ensuring consistent quality in every capsule.

Key Features of NOW Foods Empty Gelatin Capsules

  • Easy to Fill: Designed for both manual and machine filling, the #3 size is perfect for potent ingredients where small, precise doses are needed.
  • Easy to Digest: Composed only of bovine gelatin and water, these capsules dissolve quickly in the stomach for efficient release of contents.
  • Free from Common Allergens: Certified non-GMO, gluten-free, soy-free, corn-free, sugar-free, and nut-free. Ideal for individuals with multiple food sensitivities.
  • GMP Quality Assured: NOW Foods holds NPA A-rated GMP certification, meaning every step of manufacturing meets stringent quality standards.
  • Family Owned Since 1968: Packed in the USA by a trusted family-operated company with decades of experience in the supplement industry.

How to Use These Empty Capsules

Using empty gelatin capsules is straightforward. If you have a capsule filling machine, follow the manufacturer's instructions for size #3. For manual filling, separate the capsule halves, fill the larger body with your powder using a small scoop or a card to level, then press the cap on firmly. Always use a precision scale to verify the weight of your fill material. These #3 capsules accommodate up to 200 mg of most powders, making them suitable for potent ingredients like adaptogens, nootropics, or specific vitamins. Once filled, store the capsules in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Properly stored, filled capsules can maintain their potency for months.

The Benefits of Making Your Own Supplements

DIY supplement making puts you in control of what you consume. You can select high-quality bulk ingredients, avoid unnecessary fillers and binders often found in commercial supplements, and tailor dosages to your specific needs. This approach is especially beneficial for those following specialized diets, such as keto, paleo, or allergen-free lifestyles. Using empty capsules like these, you can create custom blends without the added cost of pre-made formulations. It is a cost-effective and empowering way to support your wellness routine.

Frequently Asked Questions About Empty Gelatin Capsules

What is the capacity of a #3 capsule?
