I’m holding onto quite a few grams of oil from last years harvest ... been looking for a way to imbibe without pasting it upon a paper or vaping it... can you dial me in with your coconut oil capsule technique?
Thanks!
It's pretty simple. You just need to get the gel capsules, I think the size is '00' and they have em on amazon or healthfood stores.
I use something called "cap'm quick" to hold my capsules upright while I drop the oil in, its really helpful to get some sort of capsule filling device to make larger batches. In a pinch, you can just stand your caps upright in a bowl of rice. You'll need some sort of syringe for filling the capsules as well.
My method is very non-scientific so if you are looking for a consistent dosage you will need to do some math. I basically just warm the RSO so I can put a drop in each empty capsule and then fill the remaining up with coco oil or MCT Oil. I think I added a little bit of sunflower lecithin which helps your body absorb the RSO. Alternatively, you can just warm the RSO and Coconut Oil or MCT together and then fill your caps up with that.
When I made it I didnt want to sit down and figure out the math for dosages, which is why I just put one drop of RSO in a cap and filled the rest with oil. Sometimes two drops would come out, so I just know that the darker looking caps are more potent than the lighter colored ones.
If you had a scale you could find the weight of a single drop and multiply that by the number of caps you intend to make and then mix a bigger batch of RSO/Coco oil and only have to fill the capsules once.
You could play around with it and add other healthy stuff to the caps like turmeric powder or medicinal mushroom powder like chaga/lions mane/reishi/etc., if you like that kind of stuff.
Make sure you store the finished caps in the fridge or the gel caps might melt. Also, they can be pretty darn powerful so dont take them if you have anything important to do in the next several hours until your tolerance builds up.
