In addition, there are some items thatâ??ll help in making the capsules easier to measure and fill, but you can get by without them as long as you have a steady hand and some patience. However, for those people who are likely to repeat the process, they are inexpensive to buy and make it much easier and quicker to make regular or larger quantities.

They are:

A) A capsule filler container. The one shown in the picture is a â??Cap.M.Quikâ?? model which holds 50 capsules. Expect to pay around $20/£10 for one.
N.B. Make sure it is sized for 00 capsules.
Typically, if you buy one from ebay youâ??ll be offered it with the capsules bundled together (usually 400/500) for around $40/£20.

B) A syringe or pipette. To siphon off the activated oil and â??injectâ?? into the capsules (the one pictured is a childrenâ??s liquid medicine dispenser and holds exactly 1 teaspoon (5 ml).
For sale in most pharmacies for around $2/£1.

C) An accurate set of measuring spoons (a â??niceâ?? to have). The ones pictured can be used to scrape exactly the right amount of â??solidifiedâ?? Coconut oil or clarified butter out of the jar or tub (assuming itâ??s straight out of the fridge). Once youâ??ve levelled off the spoon, youâ??ll have the precise amount, 5 ml (Useful for dosage control). These can be bought from most household or cookery stores for around $5/£2.50.
