Just as Moringa Powder and smoothie, Moringa capsules can also be made on a small scale at home with little capital investment.
As usual, we have researched the best method of Moringa capsule production that guarantees a high conversion rate from raw Moringa leaves to capsules.
There are two general methods for producing Moringa capsules. These methods include;
1- Direct Powder Conversion Method
This is the simplest way to manufacture your Moringa capsules at home. All you need is a bulk of carefully prepared Moringa Powder, a pill filler, and empty gelatin capsules of the desired size. Be sure that the gelatin capsule size matches the size of the pill filler.
How to Make Moringa Powder and Fill Capsules
You can make moringa powder by picking small branches from the Moringa tree containing green leaves. It is better to wash them, preferably with hot water for a few minutes to remove dirt and insects or even insecticides if applied in the crops around. Dry these branches in some shady area to avoid ultraviolet rays of Sun. When dried, remove the leaves, grind them, stain and fill the capsules.
Empty gelatin capsules can be easily procured online or in reputable community drugstores. It is advisable to buy gelatin capsules that are already detached and arranged to avoid wasting time during Moringa capsule production.
Arrange the longer ends of the gelatin capsules into the filler base. Weigh the Moringa oleifera powder. Adequate knowledge of the gelatin capsule volume, number of Adequate to be produced, the weight of gelatin capsules, and weight of Moringa Powder used will guide you to determine the net weight of each capsule after production.
Using a spreader (often provided with the pill filler), transfer a predetermined quantity into each gelatin capsule following the equipment guide of your pill filler. Using a tamping tool (supplied with the filler) compact the powder into the capsules by applying firm pressure. Repeat this procedure many times until you have correctly filled the capsules with the powder.
Arrange the shorter ends of the gelatin capsules on the cover of the filler. Cover the base and release pressure. Your capsules are now ready! Using the instructions stated on the filler manual, carefully remove the Moringa capsules from the filler.
Store the capsules away from sunlight and keep out of reach of children.
2- Heat Activation Method
As the name implies, the Moringa leaves bulk is activated over a low temperature before conversion into powder. This is particularly important for Moringa powders made at home for capsule production. Heat activation sanitizes the leaves, reduces the moisture content and considered by local folks to activate phytochemicals in the leaves. This is a common practice among local production outfits of the Moringa capsule in Africa. Moreover, this practice has not been verified by scientific inquiries. Necessary sanitary procedures should be observed throughout the production process.
