Empty Vegan Capsules Size 0 – 100 Pack

Contents

This pack contains 100 empty vegan capsules in size 0, manufactured from HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a plant-derived cellulose material. These capsules provide a plant-based alternative to conventional gelatin shells and are suitable for people following vegan and vegetarian diets.

Depending on the relevant certification and manufacturing process, HPMC capsules can also be suitable for halal and kosher requirements. The size 0 format follows the standard capsule dimensions, making these shells compatible with most size 0 capsule-filling machines.

Plant-Based Capsule Solution

HPMC capsules are made from cellulose rather than animal-derived gelatin. They are therefore a practical choice when you want to avoid animal-based capsule materials.

Key features include:

• 100% plant-based capsule shell
• Suitable for vegan and vegetarian lifestyles
• No bovine or porcine gelatin
• Neutral taste and odour
• Compatible with standard size 0 capsule-filling equipment
• Suitable for a wide range of compatible dry powders
• A practical option for storage in warmer or more humid environments

Always check the manufacturer’s certification if a specific halal or kosher standard is essential to you.

HPMC vs Gelatin Capsules

Feature	Vegan HPMC	Gelatin
Shell material	Plant-derived cellulose	Animal-derived gelatin
Vegan suitable	Yes	No
Vegetarian suitable	Yes	No
Animal ingredients	None	Yes

HPMC capsules are particularly useful for users who prefer a plant-based shell or need capsules that are less sensitive to humid storage conditions.

Size 0 Capacity

Size 0 HPMC capsules have an internal volume of approximately 0.68 ml. The actual amount of powder that can be placed inside depends on the density and characteristics of the material. For example, powdered botanical materials may vary considerably in weight despite occupying the same volume.

Factors such as grind size, moisture content and powder density all influence the final fill. Do not use capsule volume as a substitute for weighing an ingredient. When an accurate quantity is required, measure the contents with a suitable precision scale.

Suitable Applications

These empty size 0 capsules can be used for compatible dry formulations, including:

• Herbal powders
• Botanical preparations
• Nutritional powders
• Selected vitamin and mineral formulations
• Other suitable dry ingredients

Always check the safety, serving recommendations and compatibility of the specific ingredient before encapsulating it.

Compatibility with Capsule Machines

The standard size 0 format makes these HPMC capsules compatible with many manual and semi-automatic size 0 capsule-filling machines. They can be used with suitable size 0 filling equipment, allowing multiple capsules to be prepared efficiently rather than filled individually by hand.

Storage

HPMC capsules should be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity. Keep the packaging securely closed when not in use. Although HPMC offers good moisture resistance, proper storage helps maintain the physical quality of the empty shells.
