XPRS Nutra Capsules Express- Size 1 Black and Red Empty Gelatin Capsules- Kosher - Pure Gelatin Pill Capsule - DIY Powder Filling (1000)

I need to split one of my Rx meds to 50%, it is not manufactured any lower strength, so we fill each capsule to half dosage. The capsules open easily for filling and the price is good. So we recommend them.

The only complaint I have is actually about Amazon, not the product. They keep packing very light weight items in with very heavy items. This time everything arrived ok but last time they did this we weren't so lucky and I had empty capsules from the bag that broke open all over the inside of the package, a bunch rolled out of a hole in the box, were all over my living room floor and front porch and I wouldn't have been surprised if they were all over inside the delivery van too.This time care was taken in the packing and everything arrived safe and intact.And I gotta say, in my area I much prefer the Amazon delivery people over things being shipped ups. The Amazon people are so much more careful and really do a great job. I get happy when I see an Amazon truck pull up to the house rather than ups.Now, about the capsules themselves: perfect size for what I needed them for. I buy certain supplements in bulk because it's much more cost effective. Not everything needs a size 00 capsule (the most commonly used one). It's really great to find these other sizes. Size 1 is smaller than 00, 2 is smaller yet, and so on.These definitely dissolve after swallowing because I am indeed getting my supplements. They are easy to swallow. They are easy to lock shut by pushing them all the way closed.Just be careful because these little capsules are slippery and easy to drop! So just keep that in mind and you'll do fine. I work with them over a table so they don't fall on the floor if I drop any.I really like the colors too. I like being able to quickly identify what's inside a capsule by the outside color because it might be one I filled several days back. Just makes it easier.I have bought many different sizes and colors empty capsules from this company and no complaints. I will continue to buy from this company as long as they keep making these quality products.

I might use them again

These work great for hiding my horses pills in their grain. The orange color helps to spot the pill if they somehow spit it out.

My cat is currently taking liquid chemo meds, but unfortunately, he hates the taste. To not waste the meds, I bought empty capsules to fill. Overall, these capsules are great. I was able to add his meds, snap the capsule closed, and get him to swallow it with minimal effort.Unfortunately, it states the Size 1 will hold .5ml; however, that is most likely the non-liquid volume. When trying to fill with .5ml of liquid, the size 1 is too small. I was only able to add .4 without spillage, and ended up having to fill 2 capsules vs the 1. While this worked just fine, it wasn't ideal based on the circumstances.I'm giving the size 1 four stars just because the size isn't 100% accurate for liquid meds, and it doesn't differentiate liquid vs powder, etc.I did end up buying the size 0 from the same company, and gave that size a five-star rating. It holds the .5ml of liquid with no problem. I was able to give my cat his meds today without issue using that size capsule.
