  • The most commonly asked question to Empty Caps Company from people who fill their own capsules with herbal supplements is this: "How many milligrams fit in a size 00 capsule" or size 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 or 000 capsule. As explained in this video, milligrams are a measure of weight and not volume. Rick helps you to determine how many milligrams you'll be putting in each of your capsules.

    Hey Rick, yesterday I filled capsules for the first time on the Cap n Quik. The turmeric I used was packed in a sealed package labeled 6 ounces. I filled 180 “000” size capsules. Six ounces is 170097.139 milligrams. I simply divided the milligrams by 180 and came up with an average of 945 mg. per capsule. I think the “000” is rated as approx. a 1000 mg. size, so 945 is pretty close. Perhaps a little more tamping and it would have been nearer to the 1000 mg I was shooting for.

      Thank you for sharing! That seems pretty dead-on. Because the density of the turmeric is a little more than 2/3 that of water (.64 vs. 1) meaning you'd need a greater volume of powder to pack more weight in. The volume of the size 000 is actually 1,370, it's the size 00, one size smaller, that has a volume of .945 but would only hold that kind of weight with a denser powder of 1:1. Great to know. Thank you again for sharing this.

    Hi. I don't understand. I've bought 100g of pure bulk powder along with some 00 capsules, a machine and some scales. I need to make 50mg and 100mg caps. So how will I get the exact it's in each cap?
    Hopefully you can advise me. Thank you.

    Just weigh a capsule and then a full capsule. I can get a gram of Kratom in a 000 capsule.

    I’m a lil confused and terrible math wise , I purchased a pill filler that can fill 100 , 00 size capsules at a time , I know 00 fills more than 600 mg , but using a multi fill how will I determine how much I need or will the 00 capsule be okay full ? It’s boric acid

    That measuring scoop... how many ml of water can it fill in the scoop?
    The scoop has a FIXED VOLUME but the weight differs from substance to substance.
    So, may we know what's the scoop's volume in ml?
    Thanks!

    is 00 size same as 00#? this is getting me confused, the diameter of my caps is greater then 8mm so they're in the 00 range according to some charts. But i am buying a filling machine and the sizes are listed with hashtags like 00#.

    In regards to your mathematical formula, I'm sure the weight * 20 would be an easier way to go about it. Cheers.

      Indeed. I'm not a mathematician and never claimed to be. I used what I figured out on my own, and shared it in an attempt to be helpful.

    So I purchased 1000mg of Ashvaghanda in capsules from Amazon, however after weighing the capsules they 0.5g on the scale, does that mean there is not 1000mg of the supplement in this capsule? Please reply

    • @EmptyCaps
      @EmptyCaps  2 года назад

      .5g is the same as 500mg, so one might conclude that is the case. How precise is your scale?

  • @bayareamom1753
    @bayareamom1753 7 лет назад

    would this method still work for filling smaller caps (size 4) and only needing to fill each cap to 10mg and 30mg each?
    or do i have to individually fill each capsule after i measure out 10mg and 30 mg? (this way seems very time consuming =(

    I was hoping you show the size of each Capsule
    In relation to your hands, (Visual?)that will be more understandable than all That nonsense math😜

      Interesting theory. As people come in all shapes and sizes, whose hands would you suggest we use?

      perhaps you could put them all next to each other on the table alongside a ruler/dime/quarter for scale comparison

    I wouldn't trust this guy or his products as far as I could throw him. This guy shouldn't have anything to do with peoples health. He tells you "oh the scoop is the secret" without telling you how much powder the scoop contains. Plus he talks about his big company which sells capsules all over the world but yet there's no way of contacting him about his products. There's a lot better companies out there. People took their time and energy to send messages regarding this video and obviously his time is to valuable to reply.

      Where do I say in the video "oh the scoop is a secret"? Which weighs more, a pound of feathers, or a pound of lead? Can you fit the same weight in the same size container? Clearly, you were confused by the video, which was not my intention. That being said, "this guy" has responded and now awaits your reply. - Rick Calvert, Empty Caps Company
