Excipient mix for 10mg capsules of Var

[SkullCrusher]

Hi, what excipients do you use and in what ratios for making 10mg Var capsules?

I’ll be making a small batch of 400 capsules.

I’ll be using a pestle and mortar to gently micronise the Var raw and fillers and I’ll use geometric dilution to mix the filler with Var.

So far I understand a combination of microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate (lubricant) and silicon dioxide (moisture absorption and lubricant) works well, but I don’t know the % of each.

Thanks

You don't need that type of excipients if you are making capsules. That are for tablets. You can use any powder.

What about the grinding qualities of the filler using geometric dilution? EG protein powder no doubt has moisture in and clumps.

I have found glutamine works well with mixing with var. I also throw in some curcumin for a visual aid on the mix.

Mixing Powders

Some basic math items I read someplace:

"So I'm going to try to be as general, but specific as I can.... this equation is for 100 caps.

25mg is equal to .025 grams, you just cary the decimal (love metric system).

1) figure out capsule weight eg. .090g

2) figure your filler weight in a full capsule with capsule Eg. .560g

3) subtract capsule from filled weight .560-.090=.470

4) subtract amount of active ingredient to get your total filler weight. .470-.025=.445 total filler

Now we move the decimal to get total mixing weights.

44.5 grams filler, 2.5 grams active"

Filler full capsule = X
Raw ingredient full capsule= Y
Target Dose = 10mg
10mg/Y= %

To get recipe
X-%= 00g of filler
X- 00g filler = 00g of raw

Recipe Check
00mg of buff + 00mg of filler = X(total value full blank)

Great stuff thanks

What do you use as filler?
