Beetroot Capsules

Beetroot Capsules contain milled *Beta vulgaris* root, presented in a two-piece
capsule shell. The root is sourced from contracted growers, graded for size and
sugar content, washed, and dried at a temperature low enough to preserve the
natural pigment. Dried root is milled and, where a higher concentration is
required, a water-based extract is prepared and dried separately, then blended
back with the milled root to reach the agreed specification. The powder is
filled into capsules — either gelatin or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose for a
plant-based shell — on automatic filling equipment that controls fill weight
to within a narrow tolerance. Standard capsule sizes are 0#, 1#, and 2#, with
fill weights typically between 400 mg and 800 mg; the exact figure depends on
the density of the powder and the shell size. Specifications cover fill weight
uniformity, disintegration time, moisture, microbial limits, heavy metals, and
a colour check, since beetroot powder darkens with heat and age and the capsule
appearance is a useful early indicator of lot condition.
