Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the capacity of a size '00' capsule?

A size '00' capsule can typically hold between 700 mg to 900 mg of most powdered supplements, depending on the density of the powder.

Are these capsules made from animal products?

No, these are vegetarian capsules, suitable for those avoiding animal-derived ingredients.

Can I fill these with liquids or oils?

These capsules are primarily designed for dry powders. Filling with liquids or oils is not recommended as it can cause the capsule to dissolve prematurely or leak.

How many capsules are in a bottle?

This product contains 750 empty vegetarian capsules.

Do these capsules contain any fillers or binders?

No, these are plain empty capsules. They do not contain any fillers or binders themselves, allowing you to create pure supplement blends.

What does 'Non-GMO Project Verified' mean?

It means the ingredients used to make the capsules have been verified to meet the Non-GMO Project standard, ensuring they are not genetically modified.

Where should I store the empty capsules?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight, in a tightly sealed container to maintain their integrity.

Troubleshooting

Capsules are difficult to close or seal

Ensure the capsule halves are fully separated before filling. Check that you have not overfilled the capsule, which can prevent proper closure. Ensure the powder is evenly distributed.

Powder is sticking to filling tools

Ensure both the powder and the tools are completely dry. A slight dusting of cornstarch on tools can sometimes help, but ensure it doesn't affect your supplement blend.

Capsules break or crack during filling

This can happen if capsules are exposed to excessive moisture or are too dry. Store them in a stable environment. Handle gently during the filling process.

Inconsistent fill amounts

Use a capsule-filling machine for greater accuracy. Ensure powder is packed consistently in each half before closing. Variations in powder density will naturally lead to some variance.

  • Complete control over supplement ingredients and dosages.
  • Avoidance of unnecessary fillers and binders.
  • Convenient for creating specific potency blends.
  • Vegetarian and Kosher options available.
  • Non-GMO Project Verified for ingredient integrity.

Cons

  • Requires manual effort and time to fill capsules.
  • Potential for mess during the filling process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These capsules are ready to use directly from the packaging. No setup is required. For efficient filling, consider investing in a capsule-filling machine compatible with size '00' capsules.

Compatibility:

  • Powder Types: Compatible with most fine, dry powdered vitamins, minerals, herbs, and amino acids.
  • Not Compatible: Liquids, oils, pastes, or very coarse/clumpy powders may be difficult to encapsulate effectively.
  • Capsule Machines: Ensure any capsule machine or filler tool is designed for '00' size capsules.

Care:

  • Storage: Store capsules in their original container or a tightly sealed airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. This prevents them from becoming brittle or sticky.
  • Hygiene: Always handle capsules with clean, dry hands or gloves, especially when filling. Ensure your filling tools are also clean.
