Guest guest Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Liquid will melt the capsule. There is a kind that won't and Gaia Herbs uses them, but I haven't seen them on the market, but, I haven't really looked for them either. Try www.google.com and do a search. When I use liquid in caps I put it in and swallow them right away. I forgot and left them one day and by the time I got home they were pretty well melted. The little round or football shaped gell caps like vitamin E comes in might work, but I haven't seen them either and are done in a factory. Just use an empty capsule, they come in gelatin or vegi caps and you just put the formula in the capsule, close and swallow it. You'd have to do it each time though. One half of the capsule holds a dropper, or as much as the dropper will pick up as you squeeze, you might have to make 2 of them depending on how much you plan to take at a time. Gels are made from animals and vegi caps are made from vegetables. - michael herbal remedies Monday, August 22, 2005 1:47 AM Herbal Remedies - capping oils? hi everyone i am looking to make a real nice herbal formular which consist of mostly oils,does anybody know how i can cap them?i dont want to drink oil,because it just taste nasty,so im lookingfor ideas on how to cap them.does anybody know about gel caps? and would it work with liquids?does anybody know how soft gels are made?my formular is olive oil sunflower oilvit E oilcoconut oilcocoa oilmarshmallow.oats ,ginseng in oil baseso you see ,its all liquid and i really dont want to drink it raw any suggestions? michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 HI Michael, You can just take your oils in a smoothie, or if you use Doc's Total Nutrition morning drink, put it in there - that's what I do :-) love Lisa - michael herbal remedies Monday, August 22, 2005 8:47 AM Herbal Remedies - capping oils? hi everyone i am looking to make a real nice herbal formular which consist of mostly oils,does anybody know how i can cap them?i dont want to drink oil,because it just taste nasty,so im lookingfor ideas on how to cap them.
