Making your own caps from powder

Ive been reading a lot of questions on dosing V and C powder. Do yourself a favor and get a scale, a cap-m-quick and some caps and do it right.

Making caps @ 50mg/cap 50 caps

OK say we are going to make 50 caps, this would be with the cap-m-quick machine.

1: Fill one cap with filler (probably want 00 size), corn starch works nice, or you can use protein powder, creatine, sugar, etc. only use the bottom (bigger) half of the cap.

2: Weigh the cap, say it came out to .40 gram, you take .40 multiplied by 50 (number of caps you want) you get 20 grams.

Next you figure out your mg concentration you want of each pill, we will say you want 50mg/ml. 50mg multiplied by 50 = 2500mg or 2.5 grams.

So you take your total amount of fill 20 grams subtract your hormone, 20g subtract 2.5g = equals 17.5g of your filler.

3: Put your filler and hormone in a shaker or a bag or bottle, and shake very well. It may not be 100% accuate, but you shouldn’t be off by too much, 10% max.

4: Fill the machine with your caps, pour powder over it, use the spreader, and follow the directions of the machine for capping powder.

5: Cap. Expect to lose a small amount of powder as you individually cap each capsule; this is neglibile.

You now have 50 caps very close to 50 mgs each.

Viroid;
I plan on purchasing the generic Viagra powder. 5 grams of the raw powder.
How, without scales, parse the powder into equal portions?
In the past have used the measured test tubes but now can’t find them. I’m hoping to equal out 5, 1 gram part, then 20 parts from each gram and put into caps.
Total, 100 50mg caps.
A bit confusing, tedious.

A cap em quick ?

With a scale it would be a a lot more accurate. Or you can make a liquid out of it.

CapMquik can be found here:

Around here they’re sold at some supplement stores.

Make a liquid ? I guess you could condense the product in such a way, “dilute with serile water, then evaporate the liquid down”.

I plan on getting the powder on my next purchase probably. Just now got the liquid C but it’s no problem.

Thanks for the link for cap m quik Viroid.

Viroid, I like the way you think but I have a couple of comments:

- Do you have a recommendation for the best filler? I would not want to use anything that might spoil, and I wonder about adequate mixing with a powder that might have a much different particle size or properties than the drug.

- The cap m quick product is cool, but adds considerably to your unit cost unless you plan on encapsulating a fairly large quantity.

- Do you have any experience making a liquid product? I heard kits uses peg as the solvent, but I don’t know. I would be concerned about using something that causes the drug to degrade.

I appreciate your thoughts.

I use ethanol or everclear (grain alcohol). It does not make a “solution”,or in other words, it does not completely disolve the powder. It makes whats called a “suspension” in the pharmeceutical/chemistry industry. You just have to shake it before each use. Which is not a big deal to me. If you wanted to make a “solution” you would need some PEG600. Now, If you put 5 grams of powder into 50ml of liquid you will come out with 100mg per ml. or 50mg per 1/2ml etc.

-For fillers I use baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), corn starch, flour, or even protein powder. Pretty much whatevers laying around. :)

-Yes, the camquik does add to the cost, but its best for accuracy and if you need to make a lot of caps. Most people are buying 5 grams of powder at the least. 5 grams of viagra powder will make 100 50mg caps and 5 grams of cialis powder will make 200 25mg caps, so for me its worth the 20 dollars I spent on it.

HA! I just noticed that in the link i gave for the capmquik they are selling it for 80 dollars!!! Thats way too much. I bought mine at a retail store for 20 bucks. Or you can get one here for 18.99: http://www.bulk nutrition.com/p … t_1Fast400.html
Sorry about that!:)

-Yes I do make liquid products as well. Check the response I gave to webslave above. You can get some PEG600 for around 20 bucks per 500ml and make a solution. But I just go down to the local liquor store and pick up a liter of everclear for 13 dollars and make a suspension with that. The only difference is that you have to shake it up before using it.

Ha! I couldn’t see spending 80 bucks to make 100 caps. Thanks for the link.

Whatever kitsnmore uses for it carrier liquid, it makes a suspension as well. It doesn’t dissolve the powder. Based on the taste, I don’t think they use ethanol.
