Who It's For
People who buy supplements in powder form and want to take them as capsules. These shells are made from bovine gelatin, so they are not for vegetarians, vegans, people avoiding bovine-derived ingredients, or anyone sensitive or allergic to bovine gelatin. Talk to a pharmacist before putting any medication into a different capsule.

FAQs About Now Foods Empty Gelatin Capsules, #1
Q: How much powder does each size #1 capsule hold? A: Approximately 250–400 mg of most vitamin or mineral powders. The exact amount depends on how dense the powder is.

Q: Can I use these shells to re-encapsulate medication? A: Consult a pharmacist before transferring or re-encapsulating any medication. Changing a medication’s original dosage form may alter its safety or release characteristics.
Q: Do the empty capsules contain an active supplement? A: No. These are empty gelatin shells intended to hold suitable dry supplement powders. The powder you add determines the ingredients and serving amount.
