Hi,
I'm just starting to supplement more individual B vitamin powders - B1, B2, B6 in addition to niacinamide that I have been using for months. It is time consuming to measure out each serving of each supplement a couple of times a day, but I want to be able to vary as I go, too.
My measuring spoons are good enough for measuring a weekly amount of B6, but not a daily dose. This week I've measured my B6 for the week (~50mg) into a glass bottle, added clean water, and add an approximately equal dose of this to a glass of OJ a couple of times a day. It would be convenient if I could mix all my B vitamins for a week into one bottle, and use that to dose. Would they still be good the second day? By the end of the week? What if I mix it into my whole day's OJ - would the OJ degrade them over a few hours before I drink the last of the bottle?
I've read procedures for mixing powders with eg powdered sugar and encapsulating them. I have capsules. I'm looking for a quicker and more flexible method. I know Haidut's mixture uses ethanol (modified?). Is this a necessary ingredient if I only want it to keep for about a week?
