splitting capsules??

[mrstamiina]

Is there any way to split var capsules?

what do you mean by split them? Do you want to empty the capsules out? Or do you man you got a 20mg capsule and you only want 10mg or something like that?

got a 25mg and only want to take 12.5mg...

or dump out half if possible, How do I takje it as a powder?

I'm assuming these are homemade capsules? At any rate, your var and your filler that is inside those capsules are different molar weights so if you do split this apart and try and use just half of it:
1) it will taste like assholes
2) will not be accurate
3) will make a huge mess

This is assuming that your source actually used a remotely scientific method of accurately dosing his caps. If that isn't done right, then you may not be getting an accurate dose anyways. Homemade caps can vary in dosage and sometimes by a considerable amount. The best thing i can recommend is just round up. Meaning if you figure you need to take 2.3 caps, just pop the 3rd cap instead cause chances are your dosage on them is on the low side anyways.

They' re from Orbit if that makes any difference?
Is there any way to test them for mg portion or potentcy?

 

[cornfish]

send them to a lab to verify

I have the same ones. Why do you want to split them up?

For that matter, why didn't you think about this BEFORE you bought them? I know the 25mg ones are cheaper on a per mg basis, but if you can't handle the dose you shouldn't be worried about saving a few bucks.

I'm penny pincher, always looking for the best deal. I didn't even notice they were capsules when I ordered them.

But It shouldn't matter if I have some of the powder inside with water should it?

No...except for the 3 points cornfish already brought up.

Dont' split em man. Just pop 2 a day or 3 a day, but don't get into splitting them up. You will just add way to much headache to your day

I dont' think you have to worry about testing them, I hear great things about Orbit so just pick one dose or the other. To late to change them unless you get caps with a different dose
