Capsule FAQ

How many mg (milligrams) do the capsules hold?

Mg is a weight measurement. The density of the powder, plus the capacity of the capsule (in ml) means that mgs can vary greatly. As an example, a size 1 capsule can hold approximately 300 to 600mg depending on the density of the powder. A small scale is needed for more precise measurements*.

What are the capsules made of?

The gelatin capsules are made from bovine hide only, which avoids danger of mad cow disease.

Filler FAQ

How many capsules does the Cap-M-Quik filler hold?

Each Cap-M-Quik filler holds 50 capsules.

Can the Cap-M-Quik filler be used for different size capsules?

No. Each capsule filler is specific to its capsule. For instance, a size '1' Cap-M-Quick filler will only fit size '1' capsules. Size '0' will only work with '0' capsules, etc. Some confusion exists because there are only two tampers, size 1/0 and size 00/000. But the filler itself is exclusive to the capsule size.

There are four sizes of Cap-M-Quik filler available; size 1 which is the smallest, size 0, size 00 and size 000 which is the largest. There are no plans to manufacture any other sizes of Cap-M-Quik fillers for the forseeable future.

Less than 10 minutes with a little practice of the filler. Challenge yourself!
