How to make your own supplement capsules at home

Introduction

Making your own supplement capsules is a great way to ensure that you’re getting the right amount of each vitamin or mineral, and it’s also an easy way to save money. If you have kids who take supplements and are always running out, this is an excellent way to ensure they always have their daily dose.
If you want to learn how to make your own supplement capsules at home, then this article will show you how!

Tools and Equipment Needed

To make your own supplements, you will need:

• A capsule filling machine (in German: “Kapselfüller 00”). This is the most important tool for making your own capsules. There are many options available on Amazon and other sites, but I use this one because it’s affordable, has one of the best designs available and is easy to use: Kapselfüller 00.
• Empty capsules (I recommend size 00). You can buy these at any health food store–or order them online if they don’t sell them locally!
• Supplements of choice! I like using flaxseed oil or coconut oil as my base ingredient because they’re both healthy fats with no flavor or odor that might interfere with whatever supplements we’re putting inside our capsules

Using the Capsule Filling Machine

To use the capsule filling machine, you’ll need:

• A capsule filling machine / Kapselfüller 00
• Capsules that are the right size for your supplement powder. You can get these at most health food stores or online.
• Your favorite supplement powder in powder form, which you can buy online or at a local health food store.

Making the Supplement Capsules

In this section, we’ll walk you through the process of making your own supplement capsules at home.
First, gather all of the ingredients and tools that you’ll need to complete this task:

• The supplement powder(s) that you want to encapsulate (e.g., vitamin C powder)
• Empty gelatin capsules (the size depends on what kind of supplements you’re using)
• A funnel or dropper for filling the capsules with liquid ingredients like fish oil or digestive enzymes
• A small bowl or cup for mixing powders together if needed

Tips and Tricks

• If you’re having trouble getting the capsules to stay together, try adding more beeswax.
• If your capsules are too hard to open, try adding more coconut oil or olive oil.
• If they’re too soft and won’t hold their shape when you press them into the mold, add less liquid stevia and/or vitamin E oil (if using).

Cost Savings, Customization, and Quality Control

There are a number of benefits to making your own supplement capsules at home. First, it’s cheaper than buying them from the store. The cost savings can be significant, especially if you’re taking multiple supplements every day.
Secondly, making your own supplements allows for customization and quality control that isn’t possible when purchasing pre-made capsules off the shelf. For example, if you have food allergies or sensitivities that may cause problems with certain ingredients in store-bought supplements (such as gluten), then making them yourself can be safer because you know exactly what went into each capsule before they were sealed shut by an industrial machine at the factory where they were produced.
