Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Any estimates on how many 00 capsules are needed for a pound of Japanese Knotweed? Would most of the herbs in Buhner's protocol fill about the same amount? Thanks bf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 bf I have never tried to measure out what is used exactly of each herb, but I can tell you that different herbs compact differently, and they weigh different amounts for the volume also. And different companies grind them differently too, some finer than others. The finer ones take more to tamp. I find Plum Flower Brand grinds them the finest from what I have used. Since you need the empty capsules for all the other herbs too, why would you want to know how much one herb will take? I just buy over a $100 worth of empty veggie capsules each time from WonderLabs to get the free shipping. That way I get the best deal, and don't have to figure out anything. I get both the 00 size and the 0 size each time. I have both size machines for encapsulating.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Thanks Jim - I was just trying to get an idea of how many capsules to order at once. I appreciate all of your guidance.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 You are welcome Barbara. The shipping can be a killer on this stuff, so I find it very important to get the free shipping to save lots of money in the long run.
