If Possible capsules should be stored in a cool (15 to 26 degrees C.), dry place (Humidity 45% and 60%), although they can tolerate a wider range of temperatures. If are allowed absorb to much moisture any capsules will expand and can be difficult to insert in capsule machines. 

Using a Filler (Excipient) or How do you fit a exact amount of active ingredient in each capsule evenly? 

All capsules you buy in the health food store or Pharmacy use inert fillers (excipients) to achieve this - Just pick up a bottle and read the label and you will see many other ingredients in the list other than the active ingredient like Magnesium stearate, starches, cellulose, titanium dioxide, sucrose (sugar) etc.

The Example below is with a 24 capsule at a time machine. It assumes your capsules are at least slightly larger than needed for your active ingredient, so you may want to measure a set amount first (like a teaspoon - 5ml) first to see how many grams per ml your powder is. Refer to the attached picture "Capsule size data chart" to see what size capsules you need as powders can be different weights per volume.

1. Measure how much filler you need. 
• Put 24 empty capsules in the machine and put 24x the amount of the active ingredient you want in into the empty capsules - it may only fill a few capsules half way - that's OK the first time is just to measure. e.g. if you wanted 100mg in each capsule you would put in 24 x 100mg = 2.4g into the capsules.
• Add your filler until all the capsules are evenly full.
• A filler - it can be anything edible e,g, cornflour, fiber powder, or something that goes with your product, flour or sugar also works, but flour is a bit sticky. The small amount used wont make any difference to your diet.
• Tip everything out on to scales and measure the weight - let's say it was 13g total (Filler + Active Ingredient). 
• As you put in 2.4g product you now know there was 10.6g filler. (13g-2.4g = 10.6g)
2. Mix the correct amounts each time and fill capsules easily!
• To easily fill 24 capsules evenly with 100mg product each time now - mix well 2.4g your active ingredient and 10.6g filler and it will evenly fill all the capsules every time with 100mg of your active ingredient in each capsule!

Safety Information

Do not fill capsules with any liquid suspension because it will dissolve prior to consumption. Keep out of direct sunlight, hot water and high temperatures. Capsule content depends on the density, concentration and the amount of the powder filled.

Note: You can fill capsules with some oils - walnut, olive, garlic, omega-3, grape-seed and any other oil as long as there is absolutely no water in it. You may want to test first, there is no guarantee as All capsules are designed to dissolve in water!
