I got these in last week and have already put half of them into use with magnesium, turmeric and kratom. I package them with a 100-capsule filling machine. PROS - Zero rejects so far - Fits perfectly into the size zero capsule machine - SO easy to work with, especially compared to clear capsules. - Pulling apart, there's no confusion over the small half vs the big half, and they are easy to spot if you've dropped it onto the wrong side - If you drop one or a half one on the floor, they are easy to find. I got tired of vacuuming up the ones I couldn't find with the clear ones - They go together smoothly but securely. - No more taste than any other capsule including ones with prescription meds - Comes in a bag that is reusable and easy to close, even though it's fairly generic. Previous capsules with other brands had to be repackaged in a ziplock bag and that sometimes created a static charge that made them harder to work with. CONS - Haven't run into any so far TIPS: - Make sure that all surfaces including your hands are perfectly dry. Gelatin capsules become sticky, even with perspiration - As with all homemade capsule filling, you will get a little of the supplement [especially powders] on the exterior of the capsule. It is unavoidable. That will impart the flavor of whatever you are putting inside, which can be kind of nasty. While there is no perfect way to remedy this, I handle it by spreading the filled capsules out onto a terrycloth towel and rubbing them around for a half-minute. That does an amazing job with cleaning them up. Then just package them up and wash the towel
Read More...FD&C Red 40 was recently listed as an expected carcinogen by the FDA, is already listed as a carcinogen overseas and I get headaches, GI disturbances, and abnormal liver tests when I'm exposed to even small amounts. Please color your capsules red with something else. Either Yellow 5 or 6 is bad for reproductive/sex hormones and neurohormone levels. Please don't use that one either. If makers had better options, they'd use more colored capsules, colors sell! But the product might not be as efficacious if they cause side effects, or might give the ingredient a bad name, so instead it's a detriment to sales to use colored capsules and bad for the supplement industry in general. Please help our industry

I tried in the past to put the small pills in clear capsules and he would open them and the tiny pills would fall on the floor putting him, my dog, and my cat in jeopardy. The red and white capsules work perfectly
Read More...My father has dementia and it's been a struggle with him listening. Recently he keeps saying he's waking up with a headache but as soon as he'll take a Tylenol it goes away within 15 minutes. He already has kidney trouble so instead of carting of to the doctor at 1st we tried the placebo method. He's been taking them for two weeks and no headache after 15 minutes. This is a God sent!

I was a bit surprised that they didn't come with a dessicant pack, as all the capsules I've purchased before did come with a dessicant. But I had extra dessicant a left over from a previous purchase so I was able to protect them
