ROMA Liothyronine 5mcg Capsules filling levels?

[Stace268]

Are they supposed be 3/4 or 1/2 empty? Some are 3/4 full others half or less

An interesting observation Stace268. I have no idea! Maybe send pics to Roma and see what they say?

[Stace268 in reply to RedApple]

I actually will email them now just wondered others thoughts experiences

I suspect Eeyore100's comments below are the answer, but would be good to hear an 'official' explanation 😊

Mine have all looked like that? I think it is a good sign they could have taken up the space with more unnecessary fillers 😉

[Stace268 in reply to TiggerMe]

That's a good point. Just wondered as it's varying amounts

[TiggerMe in reply to Stace268]

I guess it's just how much each one has settled, certainly mine all have plenty of air 🤗

The actual active bit is minuet

[Stace268 in reply to TiggerMe]

Now you've pointed that out how do they know what's what?

[TiggerMe in reply to Stace268]

it would all be tested on each batch as compliance is very tightly monitored

sprinkle of fairy dust on each one 😏

You might care to have a quick look at this video (yes - of course it is PR for the company!).

No idea whether this company's capsule machines are used for Roma product.

I prefer 🍄's machine! Of course just filling with dodgy vits etc is a lot more hit and miss as no regulations

[helvella Administrator Thyroid UK in reply to Stace268]

I suspect the scale of Roma production makes an automated approach more likely!

i would assume it's simply due to the same issue as cornflakes suffer from :

"The contents of this packet may have settled during transit"

Vibrate/ shake them all for a few minutes to un 'settle' the contents again, then see if they still look different .
