Hello! Thanks for reading!

I've got quite a few supplements now that I've bought in bulk powder (as they were much cheaper that way) but going through each with a measuring spoon every morning is proving to be a bit too time-consuming.

I require a machine that is both easy to use in a rapid and repititious fashion, or that is, alternatively, automated to some degree, so that I can fill a large number of pills/capsules in a relatively short time.
Moreover, I am also looking for a machine with sturdy and guaranteed construction; nothing cheap and plastic and prone to failure, please.
Finally, I am not prepared to spend more than, say, $200, and of course the less the better.

I'm curious, also, how greatly the prices and qualities of various gel-caps differ amongst the various manufacturers and vendors. Can you suggest any?

Thanks again, I appreciate your help. Take care, bye!

My favorite is the Capsule Machine, about $15. It loads 24 "00" capsules at a time. "00" is a good size, fairly large, I use magnesium stearate as a filler if I don't need all the space in a "00" capsule. Buy more expensive capsules at first, then try the cheaper ones. Cheaper ones (say one cent each) need more skill.

4 batches of 24 is 96 capsules. That seems like a lot to me. Buy your scale on Ebay, a 300 gram scale is good, about $10. Have fun, big money saved by doing this. Plus your supplements are never a compromise, they are exactly what you want to take.
