I really would like to start doing this, I was wondering if anyone had any tips? Like...capsule size, where to buy capsules, how do you measure and weigh? And anything else you think I may need to know!!!

Thank you all!

You can get the herb powders at 1stchineseherbs.com. You can get empty capsules and a capsule filling machine from wonderlabs.com. People here have recommended wonderlabs to me. You can also get capsules from vitacost.com.

I get the OO size capsules and they seem to be a good size. Good lcuk encapsulating! -Despin

I have been encapsulating for almost two years now. Thousands, upon thousands of capsules.

Get The Capsule Machine from Wonderlabs, or StarWest Botanicals. Also Wonderlabs has a decent price on the empty capsules. I started out with Gelatin capsules, but have been using Veggie capsules from Wonderlabs for about 18 months now. I use both "0" and "00" size capsules.

Just make sure to clean the machine fairly often.

Buhner recommends the "00" size capsules, but I use both sizes. Three '00" size capsules equal about the same as four "0" size. "0" size capsules are easier to swallow for those who have trouble swallowing capsules.

1st Chinese is fine for the bulk whole herbs.

Get the Wonderlabs Capsule Machine, not the CapMQuick. I have both and vastly prefer the Capsule Machine. Check out the links in my signature (the herbal links one) for some hints from various people about encapsulating.
