What are Empty Gelatin Capsules?

Discover Capsule Connection 10,000 — Empty gelatin capsules are containers designed to be filled with powdered or granulated substances. Made from high-quality gelatin, these capsules offer a convenient and precise way to dose your own supplements, herbs, or personalized ingredients. Size 0 is one of the most popular due to its intermediate capacity, ideal for a wide variety of formulations.

Benefits of Size 0 Capsules

Size 0 empty capsules offer a perfect balance between capacity and ease of ingestion. With an approximate length of 21 mm and a diameter of 7.6 mm, they can hold between 400 and 500 mg of powder, depending on the material's density. They are easy to swallow and can be filled both by hand and with encapsulation machines. By purchasing 10,000 units in separate bags of 1,000, you maintain the product's freshness and organization.

Common Uses of Empty Capsules

These capsules are ideal for those who prepare their own supplements at home, herbalists, small supplement businesses, or those who wish to customize their doses. They can be filled with vitamins, minerals, plant extracts, probiotics, or any other powdered compound. They are also used in laboratories and research centers for controlled trials.

How to Fill Gelatin Capsules?

Manual filling is done by separating the two halves of the capsule, filling the longer part with the desired powder, and then closing it with the cap. For greater efficiency, there are manual or semi-automatic encapsulation machines that can fill hundreds of capsules per hour. It is important to gently compact the powder to ensure a uniform dose. Once filled, capsules should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture.
