Gelatin Capsules

Accessories: Gelatin Capsules

Size "0"

  • Approx. 1000 gel caps
  • Size "0" is the industry standard and most popular size used for capsulated products.
  • Gelatin source: gluten free, preservative free kosher beef.
  • Size "0" is about 50% smaller than size "00" and is close to the size of a nickel.
  • Each "0" capsule will hold 400 mg - 800 mg or so (5,000 mg = 1 teaspoon), depending on the powder and whether or not you use a Tamper when filling the capsules. Heavy and dense powders, such as Bentonite clay, Kelp and Spirulina, will be closer to the 800 mg range in one "0" capsule. Light and fluffy powders, such as Slippery Elm and Eleuthero Root, will be closer to the 400 mg range in one "0" capsule. Of course, using a Tamper will drastically increase the amount that will fit into each capsule.

Size "00"

  • Approx. 450 - 500 gel caps
  • Gelatin source: gluten free, preservative free kosher beef.
  • Size "00" is about 50% larger than size "0" and is nearly the size of a quarter.
  • Each "00" capsule will hold 550 mg - 1,100 mg or so (5,000 mg = 1 teaspoon), depending on the powder and whether or not you use a Tamper when filling the capsules. Heavy and dense powders, such as Bentonite clay, Kelp and Spirulina, will be closer to the 1,100 mg range in one "0" capsule. Light and fluffy powders, such as Slippery Elm and Eleuthero Root, will be closer to the 550 mg range in one "0" capsule. Of course, using a Tamper will drastically increase the amount that will fit into each capsule.
  • Because none of us have a hard time swallowing capsules, this is our favorite size for use in our home. Someone that does not like to swallow capsules may prefer the smaller sized "0".

Capsules
by Denae on Apr 11, 2013

Just made my first capsules with Bentonite Clay. The machine is so easy to use and in about 15 minutes I made 96 capsules. So excited to try making more. Thanks!

Capsules surpassed expectation
by Jeannie on Nov 11, 2012

I read the warning about the capsules jamming and I figured I would have a few per batch, but there were fewer than 5 out of 1000 that jammed. This was my first try at making capsules and I think that now that I have the hang of it, there might not be any more. What an easy process! It's a bit addictive, actually.
