Good idea. Yes it is easy to buy empty capsules, size 00 is best, and then fill them as desired. Not worries about the beads dissolving too soon....stomach acid won't get them...they are not going to dissolve until the intestines no matter whether they are in a capsule or not. The capsule will disintegrate rapidly in the stomach, but the beads don't. The capsule only serves the purpose of keeping the beads together for swallowing. It serves no purpose after that.
> Can't you open the capsule, remove some beads and close it up again? That's what I did with Effexor.
