I suffer from migraine. A few years ago, I discovered that Taurine, an amino acid, does miracles to fix them.
I can purchase taurine in different form: Energy drink
- Pros:
- Ready to consume
- Cons:
- Contains a lot of products I do not need (such as caffeine)
- I don't like the taste
- Quite expensive (compared with other solutions)
- It is not recommended to consume more than one in a day
- Short shelf life
Capsule
- Pros:
- Ready to consume
- Somewhat flexible dosage (500mg per capsule)
- Long shelf life
- Cons:
- Hard to find
- Somewhat expensive
Powder
- Pros:
- Very cheap (when bought in bulk)
- Easy to find
- Flexible dosage
- Very long shelf life
- Cons:
- Require preparation (mix with juice)
- Require several minutes of mixing for the powder to melt (every minutes count when I have a migraine)
Solution
- Buy Taurine powder in bulk
- Buy empty gel capsules
- Fill the capsules manually
I can buy the "tool" to fill the capsule in any pharmacy, but why doing simple when you have a 3D printer.
The files contains my 5x3 demo filler (for 15 capsules). I'm still experimenting with the idea. So far it works quite well.
[2018-10-07] I need to redesign the compactor. Compacting all capsules at once is a bad idea. Maybe I should make a "stick" to compact them one by one. I still need to think about it...
