Using Size 00 DRcaps® as an Outer Capsule
One regular customer shared an unusual but useful capsule-sizing scenario: placing a smaller herbal capsule inside a size 00 DRcaps® outer shell.
“I am a regular customer of Pure Capsules. I use their delayed-release size 00 capsules to encapsulate other capsules containing herbs such as Pau d’Arco, astragalus and Korean ginseng. Bob is always polite and efficient.”
This is an individual customer experience and should not be interpreted as a recommendation for treating gastritis or any other medical condition.
Can You Put One Capsule Inside Another?
Yes, physically this can be possible when the outer capsule is sufficiently large. This is sometimes called capsule-in-capsule filling. The important practical factors are the outside dimensions of the inner capsule and the internal capacity of the outer shell.
Size 00 or Size 000?
Size 000 is larger than size 00 and offers more room when an existing capsule needs to fit inside. If you send us the dimensions of the inner capsule, we can help identify a likely physical fit.
Before ordering, compare the outer capsule dimensions in our capsule size guide. For capsule-in-capsule use, actual dimensions matter more than the nominal fill weight.
