In a world where health-conscious living is becoming the norm, more and more people are exploring ways to take control of their wellness routines. One of the most exciting and empowering trends in this space is the DIY supplement movement—creating your health supplements at home using empty pill capsules.
But why the surge in popularity? Simple. With DIY supplements, you decide what goes into your body. You avoid unnecessary fillers, preservatives, and synthetic additives found in many store-bought products. Plus, making supplements at home is often more cost-effective and allows for complete customization based on your health needs.
At Capsuline, we support your wellness journey by providing high-quality empty vegetarian capsules, gelatin capsules, and even natural colorant capsules that are perfect for DIY supplement makers. In this blog, we’ll explore five easy-to-make, effective supplements you can start creating today using our empty capsules.
Why make supplements at home?
Before we dive into the recipes, let’s look at the reasons, so many people are choosing to buy empty capsules and make their own:
- Full ingredient control: Know exactly what you're taking—no surprises.
- No fillers or additives: Say goodbye to magnesium stearate, artificial colors, or hidden sugars.
- Personalized dosages: Adjust your supplements to your exact needs.
- Cost savings: DIY supplements are often a fraction of the cost of pre-packaged ones.
- Sustainable choices: Choose eco-friendly and cruelty-free options with our plant-based HMCP vegetarian capsules or pullulan capsules.
Top 5 supplements you can make at home with empty capsules
1. Turmeric & black pepper capsules
Benefits: Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, joint support
Turmeric is renowned for its active compound, curcumin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. But curcumin alone isn’t easily absorbed by the body. That’s where black pepper comes in. It contains piperine, which increases curcumin absorption by up to 2000%.
How to make it:
- Mix a ratio of 9:1 turmeric to black pepper powder.
- Fill your empty gelatin or vegetarian capsules using a capsule-filling machine or manually.
Capsuline Tip: Use natural colorant capsules to match turmeric’s vibrant color for an aesthetic and functional boost.
2. Activated Charcoal Capsules
Benefits: Detox, gas relief, digestive health
Activated charcoal is a natural detoxifier. It binds to toxins and helps flush them from the digestive system. People commonly use it for bloating, gas, and even hangover recovery.
How to make it:
- Buy food-grade activated charcoal powder.
- Carefully fill your empty capsules using gloves and avoid inhalation (the powder is ultra-fine).
Capsuline Tip: Our high-quality gelatin capsules are perfect for charcoal—just make sure to store them in a dry place to prevent moisture exposure.
3. Ashwagandha Capsules
Benefits: Stress relief, anxiety reduction, improved sleep
Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. It helps the body manage stress, reduces anxiety, and improves overall vitality.
How to make it:
- Source organic ashwagandha root powder.
- Fill your vegetarian capsules with 300–500 mg per capsule, depending on your desired dosage.
Capsuline Tip: If you're following a plant-based lifestyle, our pullulan capsules (fermented tapioca-based) are a perfect match—completely vegan and odorless.
4. Probiotic Capsules
Benefits: Gut health, immune support, digestion
Probiotics are essential for a healthy microbiome. While store-bought versions can be expensive, making your own is surprisingly simple if you have access to a probiotic powder or blend.
How to make it:
- Purchase a shelf-stable probiotic powder.
- Use empty pill capsules to encapsulate the powder and take them with meals for optimal absorption.
Capsuline Tip: Use acid-resistant capsules to ensure your probiotics survive stomach acid and reach the intestines.
5. Spirulina Capsules
Benefits: Nutrient powerhouse, energy boost, immune support
Spirulina is a blue-green algae packed with protein, vitamins, and antioxidants. It’s often considered a “superfood” and is ideal for boosting energy levels and overall wellness.
How to make it:
- Buy high-quality spirulina powder.
- Carefully fill your empty capsules of your preferred size.
Capsuline Tip: Spirulina has a strong taste and smell, so our flavored gelatin capsules are ideal for masking its flavor.
