I've looked around and orals cost way more than I'm willing to pay.

I picked up a KPV 50 kit and thought I could turn it into pills. The question is how. Right now I'm thinking about combining it with procap base. I'm a gel cap. (Once I buy some, I'd also like to try making oral bpc)

I'd really appreciate any thoughts or tips, particularly on whether enteric coating is necessary? And how do I calculate this to end up with 500mcg caps and so on.
 
Is there some specific reason you're so determined to take pills rather than simply following the kit as intended?

Yeah. My fear of needles is intense, and although my son can administer them for me 3x a week, it's never on a reliable schedule. When he did get around to it, I was on 1mg once daily. On top of that, I'm genuinely curious about what it could do for gut health. My goal is 500mcg pills taken 2x daily, while continuing the injections as well, depending on whether my son is available. The problem is my job takes up so much time that I can't exactly keep him on standby. Lately, though, my shifts have been balancing out more.

I doubt this would be something I'd try myself, but I'm genuinely curious whether a method exists for it... 👍

Tablet presses seem to cost a fortune, from what I found. So at this point I'm checking out the old-school approach: filling capsules by hand.

Have you given a pen a shot before? I used KPV for some time prior to switching over to a pen, and it's just sooooooo much simpler for everyday use. They're practically made with people who fear needles in mind, the needle is so tiny that I've never once felt it. Honestly, each time I have to check, like, "Did that actually go in?" Maybe it's something worth looking into, because I worry that attempting to turn your kit into pills will end up being both a hassle and expensive.

Every week I use an auto-inject pen for enbrel, though I don't have a reusable pen of my own. Enbrel injections are painful—I dislike them so much that my son handles giving them to me. But you may not be aware that KPV is believed to work very well when swallowed. Thanks to PepT1, it's among the rare compounds that make it through the digestive tract. So, even if I do end up getting a pen (I'm exploring that option since I'd like one), I'd still choose to use it orally.

I hear you. Out of pure curiosity, I did a quick Google search for KPV Oral — WOW, the prices are insane!
