Say somebody has got some powders and wants to make a good-tasting oral solution? Say, something that tastes as good as Lion Nutrition Cinnamon Clen, I hear that tastes real good. What would you do?
Strateg0s said:It's tough to encapsulate 5mg. The best way to make good tasting solutions starting from foul tasting chemicals is to use cyclodextrins. This is one of their pharmaceutical uses. If you have a gram of powder, mix it (thoroughly) into 9 grams of cyclodextrin powder, then leave it in a humid place for a few days, and you'll have a paste. Scrape that into your liquid (water may even work at this point, since the steroid's insolubility has ceased to be an issue) and add flavor, or don't. Right now 1fast400 has HPBCD back in stock, and it would work out to $1 per gram of powder you wanted to flavor. So if you bought a gram of MD from DesignerSupps, mixing it with cyclodextrins would add 2% to the cost, and it would also likely be cheaper than having to use PEG400. - How do I know? I experimented, for Sledge, with using HPBCD delivery for the methylated substances, but I found that they have to go through the liver to be broken into their metabolites, otherwise they just run right through you without good or bad effect. But while I was experimenting, I found just how much better cyclodextrin encasing makes things taste. As long as you just drink the resulting solution, everything will end up where it is supposed to, but it will taste great.
So you're suggesting a 9:1 ratio of cyclodextrins to hormone... Does this pose limitations on the solution's concentration?? In your experience, what concentrations were you able to achieve??Strateg0s said:... The best way to make good tasting solutions starting from foul tasting chemicals is to use cyclodextrins.

Yes, but if you swallow it, it is a good tasting in an oral solution, and it is highly soluable. As to precise numbers of its solubility, I don't have them on hand. I didn't sit around trying to achieve maximal concentrations, but the soluability is multiplied many times over, especially for hard to dissolve powders like M4OHN. It is not worth the trouble with M5AA which was so cheap (when it was available). I would imagine it would work fine with Viagra powder, but then again, I have zero idea what the dosage is for that stuff, as I don't have any need for it. With methylated steroids it works out well even for just countering the foul taste because one gram goes a long way, and nine grams of HPBCD works out to $1.spitboy2000 said:OK, so it's not really an oral solution but more a transmembrane solution?
Besides, if you have access to what's on display in your avatar, you should have no need for viagrasikdogg said:So you're suggesting a 9:1 ratio of cyclodextrins to hormone...

I was thinking that this with may work well for Cialis/Viagra powder.

You don't weigh the paste, you measure the amount of steroid powder you put in beforehand. ... Then divide whatever your final liquid volume is and you'll get a mg/ml concentration to work from.SJA said:So do you think that you can mix this good enough to have proper dosages each time? How do you measure the paste since now it's weight will be dependent on how much moisture was absorbed?
