These pellets are infuriating!

LilacBruze · 07-27-2011, 05:55 AM

They get stuck in the cap, I try to tap out three and ten come falling out, they leave a funky aftertaste. I could go on. I went through almost 2 bottles of drops and never had any of these issues.

On the flip side though... THEY WORK!

okinawamary · 07-27-2011, 06:26 AM

What brand of pellets are they? I'm thinking of switching from Rx to pellets for my next round and definately want some that work, albeit the aftertaste. As long as they work!

My best round ever was my very first round on hhcg drops (27 pounds in 30 days), then I switched to Rx injections for convenience. Now with the pellets, I would like to try hhcg again and do a loooong round.

They are Intermountain. Seems to me they need to either change the size of the pellets, or the size of the internal grooves in the cap!

Sleepy · 07-27-2011, 07:39 AM

do you take 3 pellets 3 times per day?

Glad they're working!

How many do you take in a day and how long till you swallow them?
What color is your bottle?
Just curious

dbunny · 07-27-2011, 08:05 AM

I tap 'em into a spoon. Gently.

It's too bad they can't make a push-dispense cap like they do w/ kid's mouthwash

I totally agree. I hate those darn pellets. I have the Intermountain brand too. I am never buying the pellets again. I very much prefer the drops. I decided when I go on Round 2 later on, I'm buying some more drops and the pellets are going to be my backup bottle!

Maybe it's just me but I think the possibility of contamination is much worse with the pellets than the drops too and I hate worrying about that as well.

Funky aftertaste? Weird. My pellets just taste like sugar.

Mine taste sugary too. Hmmmmm.

Dreamchaser · 07-27-2011, 10:37 AM

Yeah, I have to say I don't have any problems with the taste either. They just taste sugary and then no aftertaste for me.

LilacBruze · 07-27-2011, 10:42 AM

They taste sugary at first. But the aftertaste comes after I swallow them. My whole mouth tastes like BLECH and I can't eat or drink anything for 20 minutes after.

LilacBruze · 07-27-2011, 10:43 AM

Can someone please explain contamination to me? Is this a fact? Is there research somewhere to support this? I just have a hard time believing that touching these things can render them unusable.

This is from one of the homeopathic websites:

Quote:

Because the remedies are very clean and fragile, avoid handling them. It is preferable to drop the tablets or pellets into the cap of the bottle, and pour them from the cap into your mouth. If more than four pour into the cap, take four-don't put the pills back into the bottle.

You cannot overdose on homeopathic medicines. If you take fifteen tablets or five tablets (or 100 tablets for that matter) AT ONE TIME it is one dose. You will stimulate your curative response one time. So, it is not a tragedy if more than six tablets fall into the cap, just take them rather than risk putting a contaminated pill back into the bottle to contaminate the others in the bottle.

Who knows if it's true or not?! But the stuff is so darn expensive it would be awful, not to mention, extremely inconvenient to have them wasted that way so I do my best to avoid that happening!

/\ This. For me too!

TerriMM · 07-27-2011, 09:26 PM

I handle them as little as possible, but always tapped them in my palm and if I got an extra, would pop it back in the bottle. Never really had a problem.
