Background/Use: I like to cap my own supplements using empty gelcaps and bulk powders. To accomplish this, I use a capping machine and buy gelatin capsules 1,000 at a time. I had trouble getting the previous caps to fit into the machine so I figured they must be absorbing moisture. So when I bought my present package of empty capsules, I also purchased this dessicant box to keep them dry. The relative humidity in my house stays between 40-50% (40-pint dehumidifier in the summer and many humidifiers in the winter) so I'm not fighting some crazy conditions to begin with.
When I got the gelcaps in, I tried them in the capping machine and though some of them were a tight fit, they worked as received. After that, I transferred them to a gallon ZipLoc bag and put this dessicant box in. 5 days later, I tried them again and to my surprise, the capsules had actually LOST MOISTURE. I was just hoping to prevent them gaining any additional moisture but to lose moisture was astounding. They all fit right into the capping machine with no resistance and in fact the top half fit so loosely that a couple of them wouldn't stay in when I flipped it upside down to press onto the filled bottom half. I did not have high hopes for this so I was looking for a solution involving calcium sulphate (the ultimate dessicant) but now I doubt I will need anything stronger than this.
Bottom line: For keeping capsules dry, this works splendidly well.
