Re: Dividing DMSA 25 mg Capsules

[Guest guest]

We divide the 25mg capsules on a plate, and put half into another

empty capsule. We save them up from other supplements that we also

empty out of the capsules into juice. You gather quite a collection in

a short time. Or you can purchase empty one. As fillers we use

magnesium, vitamin C, milk thistle, grapefruit seed extract

powder..whatever extra supplements they might need.

You can put it in to water or juice, but it should be done right

before you give it. It is advisable to use premixed chelator in a

short period of time. (if it has been put into juice) My personal

experience was not to mix it ahead of time, but right before I gave

it. The taste tends to get worse if it's mixed hours before rather

than minutes. cold juice also tend to dull the taste.

Also, when putting it in juice or liquids, make it a tiny amount of

liquid, such as you can administer in a medicine syringe or cup. You

don't want the child to get too full of liquid and not finish the dose.

(PST) Janet-

Here's an old post from me on AMC about how I make custom doses:

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

I use a Cap-M-Quick with size O capsules.

I have found that 15ml = 25 capsules (or 30ml will do all 50

capsules, but I usually make 25 at a time).

So, my method for making 25 capsules:

-break open as many DMSA/DMPS/ALA capsules worth of chelator as I

want in 25 capsules into a little measuring cup (e.q.I used 10 100mg

caps of DMSA to make 25 40mg caps).

-top off the measuring cup to 15 ml with Vit C powder.

-put this mix in a little jar and shake it up until it is well mixed.

-pour the mix out on the Cap-M-Quick and spread into 25 caps.
