How to Make Your Own Liquid Gel Capsules

Liquid gel capsules are used for many medical and nutritional purposes, as well as in film and theater as an easy way to create blood and other fluids coming from the mouth. Commercially made gel capsules are solid, with the contents injected during the manufacturing process. To make your own, you must purchase empty capsules and fill them with the liquid of your choice. Such capsules are available in most health food stores.
