Is it safe though to go just buy the active ingredients directly?
isn't there supposed to be some controls on dosage? the other ingredients we think are filler, but they are actually necessary to stabilize the active ingredients?
many questions
- Scoundreller 4y ago> the other ingredients we think are filler, but they are actually necessary to stabilize the active ingredients? Tablets are cheaper to make than capsules, so you’ll at least have filler, if not binders as some molecules don’t stick together well. Other times they’ll stick together too well and not dissolve without something to help. If you put a milligram of an active ingredient in a capsule, everyone will think you sold them empty capsules.

- johnwalkr 4y agoI wouldn’t trust myself to buy active ingredients for something like this in general. Dosing and mixing is highly controlled, because you can easily hurt or kill yourself by confusing which white powder should be 0.1g and which white powder should be 10g in a recipe. I remember when DIY soylent was popular there were a lot of stories of people messing up doses.
