I take quite a few of your supplements. I put them all in pill boxes for the week. I take supps 4 x a day (3 sets of fat-burners and 1 set of supps for dinner.)

Last week my pill boxes fell over and they all came out. Most of the supps are in capsules and white. There was no way I could tell one from the other. The ones where the substance is a different color than white, I didn't have a problem with obviously . But 4 of the supps are all capsules filled with white powder. You can't even tell the difference by weighing them out..they are too close together in weight.

So I ended up throwing all those pills out b/c I did not want to risk taking too much of one. And there it is not infrequent when some pills slip out of my hand when I am preparing my boxes, or two of the compartments open when I am trying to open just one,etc. In each of these instances, the pills get mixed up. So I am throwing out quite a few pills every week--even with tryin gto be careful..pill boxes are not state of the art so to speak--they flip open all the time, in my purse, etc.

Is there anyway you could have the pill casings stamped on the outside in a dark colored ink with the first 3 letters of the supp..like TAU for taurine or MSM or ALC for Alcar and so forth?

The CLA already comes stamped. But as it is a big black pill, it doesn't really need it.

Even though it would add a little cost to do this, I would gladly pay a few pennies more rather than throw out a lot of pills all the time.

You could always put a dot on them with different colored Sharpies as you place them in the pill box.

What a great idea! Of course that would be pretty time-consuming as that would be about 70 pills involving about 5 supps to do each week.

Obviously it would be preferable to have them already stamped--but your suggestion is a great one! :tu:
