Used this method to make 20mg Var caps. I used Maltodextrin as my filler. You do need a fairly accurate scale.

This is something I put together to help people on caping powder products.

While cap-m-quik machines are standard, I personally prefer another device from called the "Capping machine." The reason is this: the capping machine will apply capsules tops automatically in a one-motion press of the top tray, instead of having to hand-apply each capsule top one at a time with the cap-m-quik. Be sure to practice a lot of times first so you'll get the smooth, even pressure motion down. Otherwise you'll inevitably crush and break a few capsules. Hint: don't overfill them (too much filler squeezes rhe sides outward, making them harder to cap properly).
You will need a cap-m-quick or a capping machine. Each have their own advantages, so your call I will include instructions for each.

You'll need a precise--PRECISE--scale. You can get a scale at

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 nicely for winny, or you can use protein powder, creatine, sugar, etc. only use the bottom 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, 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.
