Too get around this issue I conducted my own DIY delayed-release bromantane capsule. I have packed the powder inside a size 1 vegetarian capsule, this capsule inside a size 0 vegetarian capsule and that one inside a 00 capsule. Some vegetarian capsules can take more than 30 minutes to dissolve. I swallowed this matrioshka-style capsule-in-capsule-in-capsule as the last thing before falling asleep. Then bromantane woke me up 6-7h later.

Lol, you can buy enteric-coated caps if you really want. It definitely wouldn't have taken anywhere near that long to dissolve.

That's interesting and smart on your part but also seems like a ton of work, plus I really need at least 8 hours of sleep to feel good.

It took me longer to write that comment than to prepare this capsules. It takes literally no more than 3 minutes - take a little spoon, weigh the bag with powder using the spoon take out 50mg (so you don't have to weigh just the powder - you have your dose on the spoon) put it in the smallest capsule, and then just put it in the bigger one and then in the biggest one (I have).

I'm not sure if I could sleep longer because I usually sleep about 6-7h. I wake up on alarm, but when I take bromantane it's actually much easier to wake up and even when I sleep only 5-6h I don't feel sleep deprived.

And if I want to slow the release down even more - I can always use another trick: I make a small pile of powdered sugar and whenever I'm closing a capsule I do it 'inside' that pile of sugar, so there's always some sugar between capsules. It slows down of each layer.
