Dear bleauberry,
Thanks again for the useful information. I have a follow-up question.
You said that you divide the original capsules into 6 mg. doses. I assume that you start out with the manufactured 25 mg. capsules, break them open, and divide the contents by 4, permitting the 1 mg. excess to be divided by chance.
How do you manage to get 6 mg. capsules?
I have done some web research and found that one can purchase inexpensive machines to make numerous capsules at one time. However, I cannot figure out how to divide the original capsule evenly.
For instance, I can bulk out the original contents with an inert filler, but how do I know how much filler to add to fill just exactly, and no more than 24 or 48 or 144 capsules so that each capsule receives exactly 6 mg.
Rather than illustrating the methods that I have figured out don't work, can you tell me how you do it?
Oh, one way I have figured out that WILL work is a balance-beam. But that would be awfully slow and expensive.
Thanks.
Cordially,
YOGI
