I bought the capsule filler to fill my empty vegetarian capsules with turmeric powder and magnesium citrate. So I save not only money but also avoid additives which are almost always there in selling food supplements. The filling of the capsules was already on the second pass quite quickly, the longest actually takes the insertion of the capsule halves. The only drawback, but for my alienation No Star: The assembled capsule halves stuck not firm enough with each other, they have to be pressed into each other by hand even by 2 millimeters.
