Empty Gelatin Capsules Size 0 – 100 Pack

Contents

This pack contains 100 empty gelatin capsules in size 0, a popular standard format for filling with suitable powdered herbs, nutritional ingredients and other dry preparations.

Size 0 offers a useful balance between capacity and ease of handling, making it a practical choice for home capsule filling and general supplement preparation.

Why Choose Size 0 Capsules?

Size 0 is one of the most commonly used capsule formats and is compatible with many standard capsule-filling machines and storage organisers.

Key benefits include:

• Versatile capacity for a wide range of powdered ingredients
• Easy to handle when filling manually
• Compatible with many size 0 capsule-filling systems
• Convenient for home preparation of suitable dry ingredients
• Practical standard size for herbal and nutritional formulations

Actual capacity varies depending on the density, moisture content and grind size of the material being filled.

Approximate Capacity

Material	Typical Density	Approx. Fill per Capsule	Approx. Total for 100 Capsules
Fine powdered botanical material	0.40 g/ml	~270 mg	~27 g
Medium-ground powdered material	0.55 g/ml	~375 mg	~37 g
Dried herb blends	0.30–0.50 g/ml	~200–340 mg	~20–34 g
Powdered vitamins or supplements	0.50–0.80 g/ml	~340–540 mg	~34–54 g

These figures are approximate. The amount a capsule can hold depends on the material’s density, particle size, dryness and how firmly it is packed.

Gelatin Capsule Features

These capsules are manufactured using gelatin and are designed for use with suitable dry powders.

Gelatin capsules are widely used because they are:

• Neutral in flavour
• Straightforward to fill
• Easy to store
• Suitable for a broad range of dry formulations
• Available in a familiar, standard capsule format

The capsule shell is derived from animal gelatin, meaning these capsules are not suitable for vegans or vegetarians.

If you prefer a plant-based option, consider HPMC capsules in size 0, which use a vegetarian capsule shell.

Suitable Uses

Size 0 capsules can be used for preparing a variety of suitable dry formulations, including:

• Herbal powders
• Botanical blends
• Nutritional powders
• Selected vitamin and mineral formulations
• Other compatible dry ingredients

Always check the recommended serving size and safety information for the ingredient you intend to use. Capsule capacity should not be confused with the appropriate serving or dosage of an ingredient.

Filling Your Capsules

For manual filling, place the empty capsule on a clean, dry surface, separate the two sections and carefully fill the larger body with your chosen compatible powder. Replace the capsule top securely once filled.

For larger quantities, a size 0 capsule-filling machine can make the process faster and more consistent.

Gelatin vs Plant-Based Capsules

Gelatin capsules are made from animal-derived gelatin and are therefore unsuitable for people following vegan or vegetarian diets.

For a plant-based alternative, HPMC capsules provide a similar capsule format while using a vegetarian shell.
