There are many vegetarian options for natural health foods, including non gelatin kits and non gelatin dietary capsules. Capsules are the most common way that people package dietary supplements into individual doses. Traditionally, the pharmaceutical industry uses gelatin capsules, though non gelatin kits and capsules are becoming more popular.

Both gelatin capsules and non gelatin caps are available in a variety of sizes, and may come in customized kits when you purchase nutritional supplements, herbs, or remedies. All told, capsules are available in eight sizes, the most common of which may be the four largest: size 1, 0, 00, and 000. Most personal capsules filling machines accept at least one of these sizes, and some can be modified to accept more than one capsule size.

Using Capsule Filling Machines and Non Gelatin Kits

Non gelatin kits may come with a small personal capsule filling machine and a bag of a few hundred non gelatin capsules. Depending on the type of filling machine, it may accommodate between 50 and 100 empty capsules. Filling machines usually consist of a fill tray that holds the empty capsules and allows users to sweep powder, herbs, or other natural remedies into the empty capsule halves.

The most attractive feature of capsule kits is that they allow users to create a customized blend of vitamins and herbal remedies that closely suits their bodies' needs. There are many online resources for creating your own mixtures, often including people's favorite recipes or mixtures for a particular ailment. Naturopathic doctors, homeopaths, and other nutritional experts may also be able to offer guidance, instructions, and recommendations.
