Is it correct to say that 9 beads are equal to 1mg, even with the 60mg capsule?

Apparently there are different manufacturers that have different bead sizes. The only way to know is to count them. Then you will know for sure which you have. Count the balls then divide that number by the mgs. Mine was 9 beads to 1 mg.

Dear Brandi:
Sorry for my late response.
The capsules that I´ve bought in my town always have the same number and size of beads.
In my capsules 1mg is equivalent to 9 beads. The 60mg capsule has 540 beads and 30mg capsule has 270 beads
However since I came to this site in April, I´ve seen posts of people reporting their 60mg doesn´t have 540 beads but around 200 beads (do not remember the number exactly). I guess maybe they come from a different manufacturer???
Just to make sure, you should count all the beads in your capsule, before making any drop. Be very careful.

Hugs

Thanks so much everyone. It has been such a struggle to wean off this medication. My physician never warned me of how hard this really is. I send my best to everyone!
