Why Choose Enteric-coated Capsules for DIY Supplement Making?
Standard capsules dissolve quickly in the stomach, which can be problematic for sensitive ingredients like probiotics and enzymes. Enteric-coated capsules help preserve potency by delaying dissolution until they reach the small intestine. Many users have reported that switching to enteric-coated capsules alleviated issues such as reflux and stomach discomfort. XPRS Nutra's size 0 capsules feature a smooth enteric coating that makes swallowing easy, even when taking multiple capsules.
Features That Make Filling and Sealing Effortless
The snap-shut design of these capsules is engineered for efficiency. A firm click seals the two halves together, preventing your valuable powders from spilling. This tight seal also helps protect contents from humidity and air, extending the shelf life of your homemade supplements. Each capsule has rounded, anti-break ends, reducing the risk of cracking. The capsules are compatible with most capsule filling machines, but are also easy to fill by hand.
How to Use Size 0 Empty Capsules Effectively
Start by selecting a powder that is fine enough to fit into a size 0 capsule. If your powder is too coarse, grind it further. Fill the capsule body generously but avoid overpacking. A capsule filling machine can speed up the process for large batches. Store filled capsules in a cool, dry place, away from moisture to maintain the coating's integrity. Label your capsules with contents and date for easy identification.
What Are Enteric-coated Empty Capsules?
Enteric-coated empty capsules are specially designed to resist stomach acid and release their contents in the small intestine. This delayed-release mechanism is ideal for supplements that are sensitive to acidic environments or are better absorbed lower in the digestive tract. XPRS Nutra Size 0 empty capsules feature an enteric coating made from pure bovine gelatine, ensuring your powdered supplements — from herbs to nootropics — reach the intended site for optimal absorption. Each capsule is transparent, making it easy to see the fill level. With a capacity of 400 mg to 800 mg depending on powder density, these size 0 capsules offer ample space for your DIY formulations.
Quality and Safety You Can Trust
XPRS Nutra sources empty gelatine capsules from high-quality manufacturers. These capsules contain no additives or preservatives, ensuring a pure product for your DIY needs. The bovine gelatine used is a natural protein that is easily digested and absorbed. As with any supplement-making supply, proper hygiene and accurate dosing are important. Always use clean equipment and store capsules away from heat and moisture. Consult a health-care professional if you have specific health concerns or are filling capsules with potent ingredients.
Frequently Asked Questions About Enteric-coated Capsules
Can I use these capsules for liquid or oil-based supplements? No, these capsules are designed for dry powders only. Liquids or oils may compromise the enteric coating or cause leakage.

Can I take these capsules on an empty stomach? Yes, the enteric coating protects the contents from direct acid exposure, making them suitable for consumption with or without food. However, individual digestive variations may affect dissolution timing.
