Already thought of this. A teaspoon is 5 ml; a tablespoon is 15 ml; one would have to eat a lot of caps...
Also, it wouldn't pour well into a cap -- too thick. It might inject with an 18 ga.
This is strange SG...I've been noticing exactly what you're talking about. I feel like I'm a freshmen in high school again...hahaha....I never thought to attribute it to the carao though.
And for people wondering how to take it...just pour it into a normal kitchen spoon and swallow...chase with water if you need to. The first few days it was pretty bad, but now it's been like 10 days and I just swallow it with no problem...I actually don't mind the taste anymore.

Now this creates a paradox. Anyone using gear has to be careful of their RBC. If it gets too high, the platlets thicken and it can cause a stroke.
So anyone who got a "boner boost" from carao might just be a little deficient in RBC. It's not that unusual. Does anyone know the actual ingredints in Carao?
Having said that, I'm going to give Carao a try. And since I go for blood tests every few months, I'm going to keep an eye out for the platlet count.
Nelson,
Slight correction here. It is the increased hematocrit (percentage RBC's) that decreases blood flow, not the platelets. Flow is inversely proportional to viscosity; the main determinant of viscosity in our blood will be RBC's; increased RBC= increased viscosity=decreased blood flow. I'm not aware that increased hematocrit is associated w/ any platelet "thickening", and certainly not w/ an increase in platelet count.

Nelson, I thought about that also. While we don't know for absolutely sure that this is taking place, supp's like garlic, fish oil and a low dose aspirin (there's a product called "Healthprin" which is only 81mg of aspirin) which can greately reduce abnormal platelet aggregation and prevent cells from getting "sticky." We should be taking these anyway, Carao or not, IMO.
JG1 that's an excellent question, bro, I don't know who would have the answer for that.
I stand corrected doc. I was under the impression that platlet count measured visccosity and viscosity was determined by RBC since an increased RBC affects blood flow (I know we're splitting hairs here folks, bear with us). At any rate, the dangers exist...IF, carao does indeed increase RBC.
Valarie. It may be a plant extract but it can still cotain iron. (Spinich contains iron) I don't know how the Costo Rican FDA labels things -- if they even have an FDA. And again, I'm just speculatng. It may not contain iron at all.
Blood thinners like aspirin will thin the blood and prevent strokes and hheart attacks, but keepng the arteries clean and open is preferable to thinning the blood in order for it to flow through clogged arteries. BTW, weight training keeps arteries open and strong thank you very much. But excessive roid use damages them.
Sounds like carao is something worth doing a test on. Then again, the active ingredient may not even be something that is known.

I recall Lloyd mentioning in an email that there is very little (if any) iron in carao extract. What baffles me is that this stuff is the preferred course of treatment for anemia in much of central and south america. We could settle this once and for all though, anyone have access to an HPLC lab?

Nelson, if you are going to try carao... order quickly. As of last count there were only about 200 bottles left. After it is gone there will be no more till harvest season in March. (Lloyd the carao guy is letting us reserve bottles out of the 200 left.. so if you want him to hold some for you just email him.)
If you do a SEARCH on past threads here you will find about as much info as is available. We've been pulling teeth to piece together very scanty information on it since last summer. The best research other than the anecdotal stuff so far has come from Fonz.
To the best of anyone's knowledge the amount of iron in carao is minimal... high for a plant... but about like that found in spinach and not remotely high enough to cause a problem.
Please post whatever you can discover. Many of us are carao info hounds here.
