Cannot get Gelcaps

I used to buy them all the time at the local health-food store. Along with a plastic contraption that would allow you to fill 50 caps at a time. I lost it in the divorce. Dammit.

I didn't touch anything but weed and herbs back then, so I must have been filling bulk powder Vitamin C caps. If you go back to a pharmacist, I would suggest telling them you fill your own capsules of bulk Vitamin C because it's much cheaper. Not that it's any of the pharmacist's goddamn business.

But I saw the extra-large caps (I think they're 000s) at Whole Foods the other day on a display. There was absolutely no way they were "asking for prescriptions". Considering Whole Foods is taking over the country (US), you can probably find one in your area.

btw, I hate these pharmacists who abuse their power. Just do your damn job and shut the hell up.
 
AH! A health food store. Good diea. I can then say, "Well, I want to put my wheat germ in gelCaps" or some bullshit like that.

Also, how is this in the wrong section? I am specifically asking about an aspect of getting a pill sent in and tested. I mean, where else would I have posted this?

Sorry, I wasnt being awkward - I just thought you may have received quicker replies if you had posted in another thread. Your question is where do I buy x product from - not how do I test something? We dont actually do any testing on this site - you would need to read the instructions on the site your sending your pill to as to how to pack the goods. Ecstasy data org asks for a crush proof bottle etc

Out of curiosity what pill are you testing, where are you sending it, how much does it cost? Lots of people ask these questions so would be some handy information.

Thanks
 
Don't know about the place where you live, but round here I use to buy Vitamin C gelcaps in the supermarket. They're like 2 Euros for 60 caps. You can open them easily, throw away the healthy stuff (or just eat it), don't have to clean them out and fill in whatever you like.
 
After going to a few more places and getting the "WTF" look from people, I finally tried vitamin shoppe. The guys says, "Bottom shelf, right there."

Of course, they come ni a 500 pack (!???) and I need ONE. So I paid $9 for it and left, somewhat satisfied.
 
So, I tried to get empty gelcaps today to send in a sample. The Walmart pharmacist looked at me like an addict and said (with a bit of a negative tone), "Try an independent pharmacy," as if to imply, "we don't like your kind here in this family store."

I went to an independent one, and she asks me, "What do you need them for?"

What kind of question is that? What do you think I need it for? I Was caught off guard by the stupid question, so I said, "To ground up my pills into a powder and put them in. I have trouble swallowing large pill."

She said "Technically, they require a doctor's prescription or note."

So I once again slunk out of the store feeling like a member of the bottom rung of society.


Any suggestions?


any local GNC or hood corner store has emptys
