How to Use the Capsule Size Calculator
Supplies Needed:
- Your Supplement Powder – The powder being put into capsules.
- Tablespoon or Measuring Cup – Any volume-measuring device will work.
- Digital Scale – For a tablespoon or larger, 0.1g to 0.01g readability will work. For smaller than a teaspoon, use a 0.01g (10 mg) or 0.001g (1 mg) scale for accurate results. This Digital Powder Scale works well for most users.
No supplies? See our short post on roughly estimating the capsule size you need.
Steps:
- Pack your powder into the measuring device as tightly and level as possible.
- Weigh that powder on the scale.
- Select your measuring device, enter the weight, then hit “Calculate.” You can enter weight in g, kg, mg, oz, or lb and a custom volume in ml, L, fl-oz, or cups.
That’s it! Results can vary ±10 mg or more depending on technique and the scale used.
