hi guys
back before things in CN started getting crazy i managed to stock up on a little bit of isotretinoin powder and i've just been keeping it vacuum packed in a cool spot since then
now im finally thinking about the best way to actually use it. i was wondering if just mixing it with some ora blend is a good way to go or if its better to just pack it into capsules?
how do you guys usually prep your iso powder for taking it? just looking for some ideas on whats worked for you guys or if there's a specific way i should be doing this
man id definitely just go with capsules if you have the patience for it. iso powder is notorious for being light sensitive and it tastes like absolute chemicals if you try to do a liquid version. plus with caps you can actually get the dose accurate- trying to measure out a tiny bit of powder in a syringe of ora-plus every morning sounds like a nightmare lol.
honestly ora-plus or ora-blend is the way to go if you dont feel like spending hours over a capping machine. just make sure you shake the hell out of it before every dose because that stuff likes to sink to the bottom. i did that with my last batch of cbs and it was way easier than messing with tiny size 4 capsules.
dude you are so lucky you stocked up before the crackdown! i’m literally paying a fortune for pharma accutane right now because i cant find raws anywhere. if i were you id just cap it with some filler like ginger root powder or even just flour so you dont have to worry about it degrading in a liquid solution over time.
just a heads up if you go the liquid route- iso is super sensitive to light so make sure you use an amber bottle or keep it in a dark cabinet. if it sits out on the counter it might lose its potency pretty fast. i personally prefer caps because you can just grab them and go but the liquid is definitely faster to whip up if you're lazy like me lol.
be careful with the dosing man because pure iso powder is crazy strong. i’d definitely use a legit mg scale and maybe do a trituration with some baking soda or something before capping it just so you dont end up with "hot" capsules. one mistake and your lips are gonna be peeling off for a month straight haha!
man i tried making an oral suspension with iso once and it was so gross i ended up throwing the whole batch away. it just doesnt seem to stay suspended well in those syrups. if you have the time just sit down with a movie and cap them all out- its tedious but way better in the long run.
i usually just mix my orals with a bit of peg300 and call it a day but for accutane i think capsules are the gold standard. you want that dose to be super consistent so you arent nuking your liver one day and getting nothing the next. glad to hear the vacuum sealing kept it fresh though that stuff is gold right now.
nice score on the raws! id say go with capsules and maybe add a little bit of vitamin e or something to the mix to help with the shelf life. ora-blend works in a pinch but it always feels a bit "sketchy" to me with stuff that needs to be dosed that precisely. let us know what you end up doing!
