Anybody Make Their Own Capsules?

[studhammer]

Recently been considering encapsulating my own orals from raw powder.

Does anybody else do this? Is it difficult? I would love to make my own 50mg anavar caps.

Only posting this because it is cool in a Mr. Roger’s educational video sort of way (cool video by the way). Note @iron_yuppie had this sort of right unless you really want to put in the elbow grease, get the dilution amounts correct (math), and have the cool toys:

@iron_yuppie

Short answer? You don’t. You have a 0% chance of achieving geometric dilution without the proper equipment. If it’s for personal use then just do the best you can and recognize that you’re not going to get highly accurate dosing.

With proper technique and mortar/pestle (@Beyond_Beyond) you can get pretty much there (see the attention to detail here):

Compounding Tips : Geometric Dilution

This guy getting a little sloppy but at least you see how the compounders do it (he skips the particle size reduction part for this API):

compounding of capsules in the pharmacy setting

Any finally the Inversina mixer:

This Is The Inversina Tumbler Mixer

Some fun history there. Anyway, hope you get the idea and please don’t try this at home

Here’s the breakdown if you don’t use a capsule machine:

Capsule Packing

Even gives you the math (ignores trituration which will impact bulk density of the API+excipient so important detail if you want to pass the final exam). More details here.

@studhammer Are these capsules big enough for you?

Thanks for squashing my dreams!! LOL

@readalot

Actually, that is probably a horse or cow bolus. So no.

@studhammer

cow bolus.

So is Tren. Since when did that stop people

Would sublingual administration of 50mg be appropriate for you?
Using a good scale this could be an option, or just load the capsules with 50mg exactly and then add some filler? Pain in the ass but at least you know exactly what you are getting.

Actually now that you mention it, I have a friend doing anavar orally mixed with Fireball! LOL I could definitely do that

Finaplix was an injection pellet placed in a cows ear skin. A bolus is a huge ass capsule meant for ingestion.

Just trying to add some levity. All of this for education purposes.
