Capsule Connection Cápsulas de Gelatina Vacías 000 - 5000 Unidades

What are empty gelatin capsules?

Empty gelatin capsules are an essential accessory for those who wish to customize their daily supplementation. These capsules, made from high-quality gelatin, allow you to fill them with your own mixtures of powders, herbs, or nutrients. Size 000 is the largest available, ideal for larger doses or for combining several ingredients in a single capsule.

With 5000 units per pack, you will have enough material for numerous preparations. Perfect for both home use and for small entrepreneurs who make their own supplements.

Benefits of using empty capsules

Using empty capsules gives you total control over what you consume. You can select high-quality ingredients, adjust doses to your needs, and avoid unnecessary additives present in many commercial supplements.

Additionally, capsules make it easier to ingest unpleasant-tasting or hard-to-measure powders. By encapsulating your own mixtures, you also save money in the long run, as you buy ingredients in bulk.

The 000 size can hold up to approximately 1.5 grams of powder, depending on the material's density. This is ideal for those who need higher doses of certain nutrients.

Ingredients and product quality

These capsules are made from bovine gelatin, a natural, biodegradable material widely used in the pharmaceutical and supplement industry. Gelatin is hypoallergenic and dissolves easily in the stomach, ensuring a quick release of the contents.

Each capsule consists of two parts: the body and the cap, which fit perfectly to prevent spills. They are transparent, allowing you to see the color and texture of the encapsulated powder. They do not contain artificial preservatives or colorants.

It is important to store them in a cool, dry place, as humidity can cause them to soften or stick together.

How to fill capsules correctly?

Filling empty capsules is simple with the right equipment. You can do it manually or with a capsule filling machine, which speeds up the process for large quantities.

• Manual method: Separate the body and the cap. Fill the body with powder using a small spoon or a dispenser. Compact gently and place the cap. Repeat with each capsule.
• With a capsule filling machine: Place the bodies in the base, spread the powder, press, and place the caps. It is faster and more uniform.

Make sure the capsules are completely filled without exceeding capacity, as this could make closing difficult. After filling, store them in an airtight jar labeled with the content and date.

Frequently asked questions about empty capsules

Are they suitable for vegans?

No, these capsules are made of animal gelatin. If you are looking for a vegan option, there are vegetable cellulose (HPMC) capsules, although they are not included in this product.

How much powder fits in a size 000 capsule?

The approximate volume is 1.37 ml, which is equivalent to about 700-1500 mg of powder, depending on the density of the material. For example, magnesium powder usually weighs less than creatine.

Can capsules be reused?

No, once filled and closed, they should not be reused. Gelatin softens on contact with moisture and can become contaminated.

Do I need any special equipment?

It is not essential, but a capsule filling machine facilitates the process if you plan to fill many capsules. For occasional use, the manual method works well.

Recommendations for use and storage

Keep empty capsules in a closed container, away from direct light and humidity. The ideal temperature is below 25°C. Avoid exposing them to high temperatures, as gelatin can melt or deform.

When filling your own capsules, make sure the powders are finely ground so they fit well. Large particles can prevent an airtight seal. It is also advisable to wear gloves to maintain hygiene.

Remember that food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Before starting any supplementation, consult a health professional.
