Dimensions of a size 0 (zero) capsule

Outer diameter: 7.7mm, Locked length: 21.7mm

How much powder can go into a size 0 capsule

This really depends on the density of the powder being used. For instance, granulated powders like minerals have a higher density and can achieve a higher fill weight, possibly up to 700mg. On the other end of the scale, powders that are light a fluffy or very finely chopped herbs will have a far lower density and only 300mg would be possible.

Can the vegetarian capsules be used for liquids

These empty vegetarian capsules have not been designed or recommended to be used with liquids/oils. Some people have used the capsules filled with oil. Due to the high disintegration time the capsule would very quickly break down.

What are vegetarian capsules made from
