Also have a question about switching to gel caps

[Guest guest]

I just bought some gel caps at the health food store. I'm just

curious about why gel caps are not used in the first place and if

that reasoning would have any bearing on what I'd like to do...which

is switch all of our enzymes out of the veggie caps and into gel

caps. Is this okay to do?

Luckily, the gel caps I found are larger than the veggie caps and I

haven't had too much difficulty nor lost too much enzyme powder in

making the switch. But it is tedious and time consuming. So one thing

I thought of was...what if I open the veggie cap, place the larger

portion of it, opened, inside the gel cap, instead of pouring off the

enzymes. Then I would take the smaller portion of the veggie cap and

pour the contents on top and seal with the top portion of the gel cap.

My reasoning is that if the gel cap dissolves quickly once swallowed,

then the enzymes in the opened veggie cap would be accessible. But my

concern is that the veggie cap might seal itself over the enzymes as

it dissolves before all of the enzymes could leak out.

I have not seen any definitive results yet from using enzymes. My

son's been extremely emotional so I'm hoping that's a good sign.

We just started a little over a week ago and have only introduced

Peptidase. So I'm reluctant to just try my idea above because if it's

not effective, I'd have no way of knowing whether it's the enzymes

itself that are ineffective or my method. Plus these enzymes cost too

much to take chances of wasting them.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks and happy new year!
