Empty Vcaps are a new alternative to animal gelatin capsules. They are composed on inert vegetable cellulose and do not interfere with the digestion and absorption of the ingredients contained within.
Empty capsules allow you to fill your own powders at desired potencies, and avoid tablet binders and fillers. Buying powdered vitamins and filling your own capsules can save up to 50% off most retail prices. NOW Vcaps "00", depending on the powder, can hold between 546 - 1092 mg.
What types of capsule does NOW use , what is their source, and are they free of BSE?
