Capsule Connection 1000 Cápsulas Vegetales Vacías Separadas, Tamaño #1, Bolsa de 1000 Unidades

What are empty vegetable capsules?

Empty vegetable capsules are plant-based containers, primarily made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), used to encapsulate powders, granules, or small particles of supplements, herbs, or other ingredients. Unlike traditional gelatin capsules, vegetable capsules are vegan and vegetarian-friendly, and contain no animal derivatives. This Capsule Connection product includes 1000 size #1 capsules, already separated (half body and half cap), ready to be filled with your own mixtures.

Benefits of using vegetable capsules for your supplements

Using empty vegetable capsules offers several advantages. First, it allows you to customize your supplements: you can combine specific ingredients, adjust doses, or create mixtures not found on the market. Second, vegetable capsules are more stable than gelatin capsules in humid climates, as they do not soften or deform easily. Third, being gelatin-free, they are an ideal option for people with dietary or religious restrictions. Additionally, size #1 is one of the most popular, with an approximate capacity of 0.5 ml (about 400-500 mg of powder, depending on density), perfect for a wide variety of supplements.

Size #1: What is it for?

Size #1 is a medium size among empty capsules. Its capacity makes it suitable for supplements requiring a moderate dose, such as herbal powders, vitamin powders, or probiotics. It is easy for most people to swallow and allows capsules to be filled without the need for specialized tools. If you need smaller doses, size #0 or #00 are larger; if you are looking for very low doses, size #2 or #3 would be more suitable. For general use, #1 is an excellent option.

How to fill your own capsules?

Filling empty capsules is simple. You can do it manually or with a capsule filling machine (not included). The basic process is: 1) Place the powder on a plate or flat surface. 2) Take the larger half of the capsule (the body) and press it into the powder until it is full. 3) Place the cap (the smaller half) over the body and gently press to close it. 4) Repeat until the desired quantity is complete. It is recommended to work in a clean and dry area. If the powder is very fine, you can use a mask to avoid inhalation.
