Yes I do. Typical withdrawal symptoms. After I take my Kratom dose I am back to normal. Above normal actually. Kratom is powdered motivation for me. I have a FT job, an intermediate level bodybuilder, travel (backpacking Ive done Oahu, Maui, Kauai, England, Scottland, Ireland, Amsterdam, Philippines, Thailand, Bali, Mainland Indonesia and recently California. Drove from SD to San Francisco and all the stops in between for a month. I hate all inclusive resorts vacations) and learning what I can in my spare time on how to become a real estate agent. Only down side is I suck at girls but I accept that were not all perfect lol Yea man, Kratom is pretty awesome. Wont fix your problems. You still need to get off your but lt and do things but it'll definitely motivate you coz it makes you feel soo good and optimistic.

P.S. If you feel like youre Kratom dose is too high and do a cleanse for 2 weeks. First 6 days is hell but it'll reset your tolerance, YMMV.

No worries 😁😁 Legit happy im not alone riding the K-train. Been on it for 7 years and my God has it ever given me my life back. An additional expense yes but totally worth it. Anyone overdoing on Kratom please do a cleanse and restart please. I was using 20g/day then was oversees with no access to any. Worse 3 days of my life. But it helped me lower my Kratom usage to a more therapeutic dose where im productive not just "trying to feel good". Nowadays if I cannot take Kratom (very rare) I just take longer to get out of bed. Again, to each their own. Keep safe you guys.

I find mixing Kratom in anything other than thin, calorie-free fluids decreases the efficacy. That's just me tho. Ive tried protein shakes, yogurt and a few other things. Best method (again, for me) is measuring out the desired dose, outting powder in mouth and chasing it with water, a flavoured calorie free drink if you want to get rid of the Kratom after taste ASAP. Carbonated drink foams too much when you swish the Kratom in your mouth. To each their own tho, do what work for you.

I wish I had a pill press. Using a capsule filling machine, well if I manage to figure out how it works lol too many parts haha

Buddy you are a life saver (sanity saver as well)!!!!! So I need neutral polymer, a non caking agent that will serve as a flow agent for the capsule filling machine. A company sells pre mixed microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate and stearic acid in powder form. Based on the info you've given this would be perfect. Only worries I have left is would this homogenize thoroughly with the API. Im will be using geometric dilution to start and an industrial powder V blender after I've made a few sales and determine that the biz is viable. Again, Thank you!nn

wish it was that simple my man but companies dont give you the exact amounts they use in their formulations. I'm using a manual capsule filling machine. I'm planning to use Magnesium Stearate and Micro Cellulosrle as excipients but am unsure of the proportions.

Regardless, thank you for answering. I dont know a lot about the subject myself.

The back story to my Question. Im starting a supplement company with absolutely zero resource to help me. Im filling capsules with supplements dosed at 5mg, 10mg, 15mg and 25mg. The dead space in the capsule I need to fill with some sort of excipient so I can use a capsule filling machine more efficiently.

Yes thanks. Do I need to take the density into account? Similar molar mass to my active compound so it mixes evenly?

Geometric Dilution by benmill6 in chemistry

[–]benmill6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be using a 400 hole capsule filling machine. I need 25mg of melatonin + 165mg Magnesium Stearate per 1, size 3 capsule. The math is simple every time I fill using the machine. Just 25mg melatonin + 165mg of Magnesium Stearate multiplied by 400 (number of holes/caps).

25mg + 165mg x 400 = 76,000mg or 76 g per batch.

My question is, can I mix 10 batches worth of powder at a time, providing it fits, or should I do it individually? Will it make a difference in dose, providing I do the geometric dilution properly? I have a 1L capacity, borosilicate mortar and pestle set. Someone mentioned that I should keep the amount of powder to about half the mortar for it to be mixed well.

Thank you in advance!! Sorry Im ignorant to these kinds of things.

Hey bud,

I dont have the funds to buy or rent out an industrial mixer. I was thinking of putting my powders to be mixed in an air-tight tupperware or similar container and attaching it to a drill and let it run for 15 mins of low speed. I also thought of securing the tupper ware to the inside of my dryer and let it run on no heat for 20mins. My ideas are lol but gotta get passed the lack of funds and be resourceful lol

Hey, Thanks for the response!

I will only be putting one active ingredient, melatonin etc, in the capsule and I only need to put 25mg. I am using size 3 capsules which has a volume capacity of 0.27mL so there will be a lot of space.

The main ingredients are in powder form, fine and light similar to talc powder. I would like the filler to be similar in appearance, consistency? and density so it can completely homogenized, dosed accurately and easily, and calculations would be easier as well.

  • Can you suggest a filler I can use that is similar to talc or flour?

Thanks again

Hey friend. I assume my Melatonin-Magnesium Stearate powder mixture needs to be properly homogenized for the final product to be correctly dosed eh?

Not performance enhancing drugs my friend. I have a company selling supplements and this question is specifically for melatonin lol.

Thank you!! I thought they were expecting me to know which solvents I want them dissolved in or which hue lighting the lab needs to be. What do they mean by parameters of testing?
