Q: How can I fill the empty capsules?

A: Small quantities can be filled by hand by scooping the powder into the capsule shells.
However we recommend using our Cap-m-quik capsule filler for filling our empty gelatin capsules.
Our hand operated capsule filling machines save time and make filling capsules less messy.
Please see the product categories on the left hand side of the shop page for our capsule fillers and capsule filling kits
(which include all you need to fill your own capsules, bundled together at a discount price).

Q: Can I fill the Empty Capsules with oil?

A: Though it is not recommended some people fill the Empty Gelatine & Vegetarian Capsules with oil.
The locking function of the Empty Capsules will prevent the oil from seeping out,
but the oil will not stay fresh for long as the seal is not air tight.

Q: How much powder can I fit in each empty capsule?

A: This depends on the density of the powder you wish to fill the Empty Capsules with.
Heavy powders such as minerals are more dense and the fill weight of the capsule
will be greater.
Coursely chopped herbs are lighter and less dense and so the capsule fill weight will be lighter than average.
