What are Capsules?

Capsules are a popular way to take supplements and medications, especially in the Netherlands. They offer a convenient way to get nutrients without having to taste the contents. With different shapes and sizes, capsules are versatile and suitable for different needs.

Types of Capsules

There are two main types of capsules: gelatin and vegetarian. Gelatin capsules, made from animal products, are often used for traditional supplements. On the other hand, vegetarian capsules, made from vegetable cellulose, are an excellent choice for those following a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. Both types come in a variety of sizes, from 000 (the largest) to 5 (the smallest), so you can always find a suitable option.

Benefits of Capsules

Capsules offer several benefits to users:

• Easily digestible: They are easy to digest and are quickly absorbed by the body.
• Precise dosage: Capsules allow for precise dosing of supplements, which is crucial for their effectiveness.
• No taste: Thanks to the neutral shell, you cannot taste the contents, which makes taking it a lot more pleasant.
• Easy to use: They are easy to swallow, especially for people who have difficulty with traditional pills.

Applications of Capsules

Capsules are versatile and used for different purposes:

• Health supplements: Perfect for taking vitamins, minerals and other health-promoting substances.
• Athletes: Many athletes use capsules to take specific supplements that can enhance their performance.
• Pets: Capsules are also useful for administering medications and supplements to pets, with specific sizes to suit different species.

Purchase and Use

Capsules can be purchased in bulk, which is cost-effective. They come in a variety of colors and sizes, so you can choose what best suits your preferences. For those who want to fill capsules themselves, there are handy tools available, such as capsule filling machines and mini funnels. These make the process easier and more efficient, so you can create your own personal blend.
