Kapsel der Größe 00: Abmessungen, Volumen, Füllmenge in mg und optimale Anwendungsbereiche für Hersteller von Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln

A Kapsel Größe 00, auch bekannt als Doppel-Null-Kapsel, ist eine der gängigsten Kapselgrößen mit großem Fassungsvermögen, die für Nahrungsergänzungsmittel verwendet werden. Sie hat in der Regel ein Innenvolumen von etwa 0,90–0,95 ml, eine feste Länge von etwa 23,4 mm, und einem Kappendurchmesser von etwa 8,56 mm.

Bei der tatsächlichen Herstellung von Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln fasst eine Kapsel der Größe 00 keine festgelegte Menge in mg. Sie fasst ein festes Volumen. Die endgültige Füllmenge in mg hängt von der Rütteldichte, Fließfähigkeit, Partikelgröße, Feuchtigkeitsgehalt und Hilfsstoffsystem der fertigen Mischung.

Als praktischer Richtwert fassen Kapseln der Größe 00 oft etwa 540–950 mg für viele Nahrungsergänzungsmittel in Pulverform. Bei dichten Materialien passt möglicherweise mehr hinein, während bei lockeren Pulvern auf Kräuter-, Pilz-, Kollagen- oder Ballaststoffbasis möglicherweise weniger hineinpasst. Einen vollständigen Vergleich aller Größen finden Sie in unserem Tabelle der Kapselgrößen und Maßangaben.

Größe 00 – Kapsel – Kurzübersicht

Für die meisten Marken lautet die erste Frage ganz einfach: “Wie groß ist eine Kapsel der Größe 00 und wie viel fasst sie?” Die folgende Tabelle bietet einen praktischen Überblick für die Planung.

Spezifikation	Kapsel Größe 00
Allgemeiner Name	Doppel-Null-Kapsel
Ungefähres Volumen	0,90–0,95 ml
Ungefähre Verriegelungslänge	23,4 mm
Ungefährer Durchmesser der Kappe	8,56 mm
Üblicher Planungsfüllbereich	540–950 mg, je nach Pulverdichte
Im Vergleich zu Größe 0	Größer, mit höherem Fassungsvermögen, meist schwerer zu schlucken
Im Vergleich zu Größe 000	Kleiner, mit geringerer Kapazität, meist benutzerfreundlicher
Am besten geeignet für	Nahrungsergänzungsmittel mit mittlerer bis hoher Dosierung, bei denen Größe 0 zu klein ist

Verschiedene Anbieter geben möglicherweise leicht abweichende Werte für Größe 00 an. In einigen Größentabellen wird 0,90 ml, während andere 0,95 ml. Dieser Unterschied ist normal und kann auf die Spezifikationen des Lieferanten, die Form der Kapsel, die Messmethode, das Kapselmaterial oder darauf zurückzuführen sein, ob in der Tabelle das Nennvolumen angegeben ist. Bei der kommerziellen Produktion sollten Sie die endgültige Kapselgröße stets anhand Ihrer tatsächlichen Mischung und Ihrer Produktionsanlagen überprüfen.

Wozu dient eine Kapsel der Größe 00?

Die Größe 00 wird häufig verwendet, wenn eine Rezeptur mehr Platz benötigt, als die Größe 0 bieten kann, die Marke jedoch nicht auf die größere Kapselgröße 000 umsteigen möchte. Daher ist sie eine beliebte Wahl für Nahrungsergänzungsmittel, bei denen ein Gleichgewicht zwischen Fassungsvermögen und Schluckbarkeit matters.

For example, many magnesium blends, herbal formulas, mushroom supplements, and sports nutrition capsules may need the extra volume of Size 00. However, Size 00 is not automatically the best choice for every product. A smaller capsule may be better if the formula fits, and a powder or stick-pack format may be better if the serving size is too large for capsules.

If you are choosing a capsule format for a commercial product, capsule size should be decided together with formula design, serving size, bottle count, capsule material, and packaging. You can learn more about commercial capsule production on our Herstellung von Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln in Kapselform Seite.

Wie viele MG fasst eine Kapsel der Größe 00?

Der wichtigste Punkt ist folgender: Size 00 capsule capacity in mg depends on powder density. A capsule has a volume limit, but powders do not all weigh the same at the same volume.

A dense mineral powder may fit much more weight into Size 00 than a fluffy botanical powder. A mushroom blend with carriers, a collagen blend, or a high-fiber formula may occupy more space even when the label claim looks lower in mg.

Schüttdichte des Pulvers	Estimated Fill Weight in Size 00	Was das normalerweise bedeutet
0,5 g/ml	~450–475 mg	Very bulky powder; Size 00 may hold less than expected.
0,6 g/ml	~540–570 mg	Common estimate for bulky herbal or botanical blends.
0.7 g/ml	~630–665 mg	Moderate-density blend; Size 00 may work for many formulas.
0,8 g/ml	~720–760 mg	A common planning estimate for medium-density powders.
0.9 g/ml	~810–855 mg	Higher-density blend; Size 00 can hold more weight.
1,0 g/ml	~900–950 mg	Dense powder; Size 00 may approach the upper planning range.
1,2 g/ml	~1.080–1.140 mg	Sehr dichtes Material; theoretisch möglich, jedoch sind Produktionstests erforderlich.

These values are planning estimates, not guaranteed production fill weights. The finished blend must still be tested for flow, settling behavior, fill weight consistency, and capsule compatibility.

Warum die Angaben zur Kapazität von Größe 00 im Internet voneinander abweichen

If you compare capsule charts, you may see Size 00 described as holding 570 mg, 735 mg, 750 mg, 900 mg, 950 mg, or even more. This does not always mean one source is wrong. It usually means the source is using a different powder density assumption.

For example, a Size 00 capsule with about 0.90 ml volume may hold around 540 mg at 0.6 g/ml density, 720 mg at 0.8 g/ml density, and 900 mg at 1.0 g/ml density. If another chart uses 0.95 ml as the planning volume, the numbers become slightly higher.

This is why supplement brands should avoid asking only, “How many mg does a Size 00 capsule hold?” The better question is:

What is the required volume of my finished formula after density, excipients, flow agents, and manufacturing overage are included?

So berechnen Sie, ob Ihre Formel zur Größe 00 passt

To estimate whether your formula fits Size 00, use capsule volume and tapped density instead of relying on a single generic mg value.

Berechnungsziel	Formel	Beispiel
Geschätztes Füllgewicht	Kapselvolumen × Schüttdichte × 1000	0.90 ml × 0.8 g/ml × 1000 = 720 mg
Geschätztes Volumen	Formelgewicht ÷ 1000 ÷ Schüttdichte	700 mg ÷ 1000 ÷ 0.8 g/ml = 0.875 ml

If your formula target is 700 mg and the tapped density is 0.8 g/ml, the required capsule volume is about 0.875 ml. Since Size 00 is typically around 0.90–0.95 ml, the formula may fit. However, if the powder flows poorly, clumps, or requires additional excipients, the same formula may become too bulky in practice.

For this reason, final capsule size should always be confirmed with trial filling, not only spreadsheet calculations.

Passen 500 mg in eine Kapsel der Größe 00?

Yes, 500 mg can often fit into a Size 00 capsule. But in many cases, 500 mg may also fit into a smaller capsule if the powder is dense enough.

The real issue is not the 500 mg number. The real issue is powder density. A dense 500 mg mineral blend may fit easily into Size 0, while a fluffy 500 mg mushroom or herbal blend may need Size 00.

500 mg Formula Density	Erforderliches Volumen	Size 00 Decision
1,0 g/ml	0,50 ml	Size 00 fits, but may be larger than necessary.
0,8 g/ml	0,625 ml	Size 00 fits; Size 0 may also be possible.
0,6 g/ml	0.833 ml	Size 00 is often a practical choice.
0,5 g/ml	1,00 ml	May be tight for Size 00; testing is required.

For a commercial supplement brand, the decision should include both formula fit and user experience. If Size 0 works, it may create a more consumer-friendly capsule. If Size 0 does not work, Size 00 can reduce the number of capsules per serving.

Passen 750 mg in eine Kapsel der Größe 00?

A 750 mg formula can fit into Size 00 if the blend has medium-to-high tapped density and good flowability. It may not fit if the powder is bulky or low-density.

750 mg Formula Density	Erforderliches Volumen	Size 00 Decision
1,0 g/ml	0.75 ml	Likely fits Size 00.
0,8 g/ml	0.94 ml	May fit, but it is close to the limit.
0.7 g/ml	1.07 ml	Usually too bulky for Size 00.
0,6 g/ml	1,25 ml	Usually requires Size 000, multiple capsules, or reformulation.

This is why Size 00 is often associated with 700–750 mg supplement formulas, but the association should not be treated as a rule. Two 750 mg formulas can behave very differently during capsule filling.

Größe 00 vs. Größe 0 vs. Größe 000: Für welche sollten Sie sich entscheiden?

Size 00 sits between Size 0 and Size 000. It offers more capacity than Size 0, but it is usually easier to use than Size 000 for many consumers.

Kapselgröße	Ungefähres Volumen	Am besten für	Main Trade-Off
Größe 0	~0,68 ml	Lower-dose formulas and easier-swallow daily products	Less fill capacity
Größe 00	~0,90–0,95 ml	Rezepturen mit mittlerer bis hoher Dosierung, bei denen Größe 0 zu klein ist	Größer als Größe 0
Größe 000	~1,27–1,37 ml	Very high-volume formulas where reducing capsule count is the priority	May be difficult for some users to swallow

Wählen Sie Size 00 instead of Size 0 when your formula does not fit comfortably into Size 0 or when you need to reduce capsules per serving. Choose Size 0 instead of Size 00 when the formula fits and swallowability is more important than maximizing fill weight.

Wählen Sie Size 000 instead of Size 00 only when the formula truly needs the additional volume and your target market is likely to accept a larger capsule. For many daily wellness products, two Size 00 capsules may be more acceptable than one very large Size 000 capsule.

Optimale Verwendungsmöglichkeiten für Kapseln der Größe 00 in Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln

Size 00 is most useful when it solves a real formulation problem: the brand needs more capacity than Size 0, but still wants a capsule format that can be used in a daily supplement routine.

Produkttyp	Size 00 Suitability	Grund
Magnesium and mineral blends	Often suitable	Medium-to-high dose formulas may need more capsule volume.
Herbal and botanical blends	Often suitable	Many botanical powders are bulky and may need Size 00 even at moderate mg levels.
Mushroom supplements	Often suitable	Extract powders and carriers can vary in density, so Size 00 is commonly considered.
Sports nutrition capsules	Sometimes suitable	Users may accept a larger capsule if it reduces the total capsule count.
Multivitamine	Sometimes suitable	Depends on the total active load, mineral content, and excipient needs.
Probiotika	Case-by-case	Stability, moisture, oxygen exposure, and packaging may matter more than size.
Collagen peptide products	Often not ideal as a standalone format	Typical collagen servings are often too large for a convenient capsule serving.

For collagen peptide products, Size 00 capsules may work for lower-dose beauty-from-within blends, but powder, sachet, or stick-pack formats are often more practical for gram-level collagen servings. If you are developing a custom format, review our Herstellung von Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln nach Maß Fähigkeiten.

Wenn Größe 00 vielleicht nicht die beste Wahl ist

Because Size 00 is popular, brands sometimes choose it too quickly. But a larger capsule is not always better.

Size 00 may not be ideal when your formula already fits comfortably into Size 0. In that case, using Size 00 may make the product feel unnecessarily large and reduce user comfort. It may also be a poor fit if your audience is sensitive to capsule size, such as first-time supplement users or consumers looking for an easy-swallow daily product.

Size 00 may also be the wrong format if the total serving still requires too many capsules. If a formula needs four, five, or six Size 00 capsules per serving, the issue may not be capsule size. The issue may be dosage form. A powder, stick pack, tablet, gummy, or liquid may create a better product experience.

Finally, Size 00 may not solve poor powder behavior. If the blend is sticky, clumpy, hygroscopic, or difficult to flow, capsule filling may require formula adjustment, flow agents, granulation, or a different manufacturing approach.

Faktoren bei der Herstellung, die vor der Wahl der Größe 00 zu berücksichtigen sind

For supplement brands, the correct capsule size should be confirmed during formulation and pilot production. A generic chart can help with early planning, but it cannot replace actual testing.

Schüttdichte der fertigen Mischung

Tapped density should be measured on the finished blend, not only on individual ingredients. Once actives, excipients, flow agents, flavors, colorants, and overages are combined, the blend may behave differently from the original ingredient estimates.

Fließfähigkeit des Pulvers und Gleichmäßigkeit des Füllgewichts

Powder flow affects capsule filling speed and fill weight consistency. Poor-flowing powders can bridge, clump, or fill unevenly. This may create production issues even if the formula appears to fit by volume.

Material der Kapselhülle

Size 00 capsules may be available in gelatin, HPMC, pullulan, or other shell systems depending on the supplier. Shell material can affect vegan or vegetarian positioning, moisture sensitivity, cost, compatibility, and brand claims.

Portionsgröße und Anzahl der Flaschen

A larger capsule can reduce capsules per serving, but it can also affect bottle size, packaging cost, shipping weight, and user perception. Capsule size, serving count, and bottle count should be planned together.

Einhaltung der Verbraucherschutzvorschriften

The goal is not just to fit the formula into a capsule. The goal is to create a product that users can take consistently. A smaller capsule count may improve compliance, but only if the capsule size remains acceptable for the target audience.

Entscheidungsrahmen „Size 00 Capsule“ für Marken

Use this decision framework before finalizing Size 00 for a supplement product.

Decision Question	Was ist zu prüfen?
Does the formula fit by volume?	Calculate required volume from formula weight and tapped density.
Does the formula fill consistently?	Run trial filling and check fill weight variation.
Is the serving count acceptable?	Check how many capsules the user must take per serving and per day.
Is the capsule comfortable for the target user?	Consider the user group, product positioning, and swallowability expectations.
Does the shell material fit the formula?	Review gelatin, HPMC, vegan claims, moisture sensitivity, and compatibility.
Does packaging still make sense?	Confirm bottle count, bottle size, label space, shipping weight, and cost.

If the answer is unclear at any step, do not finalize capsule size based only on a chart. Work with your manufacturer to test the blend and compare practical options.

Praktische Beispiele

Beispiel 1: 750 mg Mineralstoffmischung

A 750 mg mineral formula with medium-to-high density may fit into Size 00. If Size 0 is too small and Size 000 is not necessary, Size 00 may be the most practical choice.

Beispiel 2: 650 mg Kräutermischung

A 650 mg herbal blend may sound suitable for Size 00, but many herbal powders are low-density. The formula may require trial filling before the brand can confirm Size 00.

Beispiel 3: 500 mg Pilzpräparat

A 500 mg mushroom formula may fit into Size 0 if the extract is dense, or Size 00 if the powder is bulkier or includes carriers. The correct answer depends on the finished blend, not the ingredient name alone.

Beispiel 4: Portion mit 2.000 mg Kollagenpeptiden

A 2,000 mg collagen serving would likely require multiple Size 00 capsules. For this type of product, a powder, sachet, or stick-pack format may create a better consumer experience than capsules.

Was Sie Ihrem Hersteller vor der Wahl der Größe 00 mitteilen sollten

To get a reliable capsule size recommendation, provide your manufacturer with more than a target mg amount.

Anzugebende Informationen	Warum es wichtig ist
Full formula or target active list	Helps estimate total fill weight and excipient needs.
Target serving size	Determines capsule count per serving.
Ingredient densities, if available	Improves early capsule size estimates.
Bevorzugtes Kapselmaterial	Supports gelatin, vegetarian, vegan, or other brand requirements.
Zielgruppe	Helps balance capacity and swallowability.
Verpackungsziel	Connects capsule size with bottle count, label design, and shipping cost.

At Collagensei, we help supplement brands evaluate capsule size, formula feasibility, capsule materials, fill weight, and packaging before production. This reduces the risk of choosing a capsule size that looks correct in theory but fails during real manufacturing.

FAQ: Kapseln der Größe 00 für Hersteller von Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln

Ist Größe 00 die gängigste Kapselgröße für Nahrungsergänzungsmittel?

Size 00 is one of the most commonly used capsule sizes in supplements because it offers a strong balance between fill capacity and consumer usability. However, Size 0 is also common when brands prioritize a smaller, easier-swallow capsule.

Beeinflusst das Material der Kapselhülle das Fassungsvermögen der Größe 00?

The nominal size may be the same, but actual specifications can vary slightly by supplier and shell system. Gelatin, HPMC, pullulan, and other capsule materials may also differ in moisture behavior, cost, and brand claim suitability.

Können Kapseln der Größe 00 für flüssige oder ölige Füllungen verwendet werden?

Standard zweiteilig Hartkapseln are usually used for dry powders. Liquid, oil, or semi-solid fills require compatible capsule systems and proper manufacturing controls. Brands should confirm compatibility with their manufacturer before choosing Size 00 for non-powder fills.

Sollte eine Marke die Größe 00 wählen, um die Anzahl der Kapseln zu reduzieren?

Size 00 can help reduce capsule count, but only if the capsule remains acceptable for the target user. A larger capsule with fewer pills is not always better than a smaller capsule with better swallowability.

Wann sollte eine Marke von Kapseln auf Pulver umsteigen?

If the serving requires too many Size 00 capsules, powder may be a better format. This is common for gram-level servings such as collagen peptides, protein blends, fiber formulas, and some sports nutrition products.
