Easier Swallowing, Optimal Dosing: The Dual Efficiency of 0 / 0EL Capsules*

Ever looked at a capsule and thought, "Wow, that's a horse pill. How am I supposed to swallow that?" You're not alone. Many struggle with taking big capsules. Some—regardless of age or health conditions—simply find large capsules uncomfortable to swallow.

The good news? Not all capsules are the same size. And there's actually a pretty intuitive system to help you figure it out.

The numbers 0, 0EL, 00 and 000 refer to capsule sizes. The sizes go in numeric order: the more zeros, the bigger the capsule. So, 000 is larger than 00, and 00 is larger than 0 / 0EL.

Here's something else you may want to consider:

Many nootropics (and multivitamin supplements) typically use size 000 or 00 capsules. Why? It's simple: the bigger the capsule, the more ingredients it can hold.

But, as health-conscious consumers have realized, more isn't always better. The traditional "all-but-the-kitchen-sink" approach just doesn't cut it anymore.

Advances in nootropic technology (including research into neuro-nutrients and innovative manufacturing techniques, like release profiles, multi-layered microbeads, and bioavailability) have shown us that fewer, more targeted premium neuro-nutrients may offer significantly more benefits. It's all about quality over quantity now.*

At HCF®, we understand that our customers want the best of both worlds: effective doses of high-quality neuro-nutrients in an easy-to-take form. That's why we've opted for either size 0 or 0EL (elongated) capsules.

Elongated capsules? Yes. Here's the scoop:

The 00-size capsule can hold 700 mg, however, our size 0 / 0EL capsules can hold up to 500-600 mg of nutrients, which means you can get more of the neuro-nutrients your which means you can get more of the neuro-nutrients your brain system needs without having to take multiple pills​.*

Plus, they may be easier to swallow (compared to size 00 capsules), which are often bulky and challenging for some people.*

Who benefits the most from this?

Young adults, seniors, women, individuals with difficulty swallowing, those who may feel uneasy about swallowing pills (which can trigger a gag reflex), people with a sensitive esophagus due to health conditions, or even individuals of smaller stature from various ethnic backgrounds may find size 0 or 0EL capsules much more manageable.*

Why capsule size matters.

Choosing the right capsule size isn't just about convenience; it's also about getting the most out of your favorite nootropic. We find size 0 EL capsules best for this job.

This specific size can help us deliver premium neuro-nutrients (minus the unnecessary fillers, binders, and additives) in a user-friendly form.
