Step One
Prepping your tools for encapsulation.
First, you'll want to put base on its stand. Proceed with separating the tops and bottoms of the capsules (gently pull the halves apart. Place the large half of the capsule in the base and the smaller half in the top, with the open ends pointing upward. Step Two
Filling the capsules.
To keep a clean surface and preserve any spilled powder, place the base on a bowl, plate, or wax paper. Pour the a moderate amount of powder over the base and spread the powder consistently with the included spreader card.
Step Three
Spread, press, repeat!
Grab the tamping tool and press down on the open spaces, compacting the powder. This should leave you with extra room in the capsule for more powder, should you need it. If you wish, you may re-spread the excess powder and press it a final time. Shovel into the open corner any excess that you do not plan on using.
Encapsulating Oils!
You may also fill your capsules with many different types of oils, like walnut, olive, garlic, omega-3 (fish oil), etc. The capsules dissolve only by water suspension or saliva of the mouth. You do not use the tamper tool or spread the oil. Instead, fill each capsule with the desired amount.
Step Four
Don't worry, you're nearly finished!
Replace the top (the part containing the empty capsules) and remove the base from its' stand, setting it on a flat surface to avoid spilling capsules. Press down firmly until the unit bottoms out.
Step Five
The two halves become one - the perfectly crafted capsule!
As you can see by the picture to the left, the capsules have been connected and are ready for removal from the unit.
Step Six
Mission accomplished!
Give the top of the unit a firm push, and voila! The capsules are automatically expelled from the unit. Store the capsules at room temperature, away from moisture.

Performance-Boosting Powders You Can Use!
Create numerous different supplements with all these different products.
1Fast400 Piracetam Powder, 700-Grams
Piracetam (2-oxo-1-pyrrolidine acetamide) is the most well-known nootropic agent. The word nootropic comes from Greek noos (mind) and tropein (towards), and refers to a class of drugs which have common properties including enhancement of learning and memory, enhancement of the resistance of the brain towards chemical and physical injuries, and a general lack of stimulant or sedative properties or other side effects.

1Fast400 Creatine Monohydrate Powder, 1000-Grams
Creatine is synthesized in the liver from the amino acids arginine and glycine and stored in the major skeletal muscles including the heart. Once inside the muscle, creatine is phosphorylated to form creatine phosphate (CP) which is a high energy substrate that assists in the contraction of the myofibrils (muscle fibers). Creatine Phosphate is utilized to maintain higher levels of ATP (energy molecules) during exercise. Creatine Phosphate maximizes physical performance and reduces exercise fatigue by absorbing hydrogen ions released by muscles as lactic acid. Intense anaerobic exercise, such as weight lifting and sprinting, depletes ATP and greatly increases the demand for creatine.

1Fast400 BCAAs, 500-Grams
Amino acids have been investigated for their potential anticatabolic (preventing muscle breakdown) and anabolic (muscle building) effects.
Amazon Price: $30.95 (as of 07/06/2009)
1Fast400 L-Glutamine Powder, 1000-Grams
Glutamine is highly in demand throughout the body. It is used in the gut and immune system extensively to maintain optimal performance. 60% of free-form amino acids floating in skeletal muscles is L-glutamine. L-glutamine plays a very important role in protein metabolism, and it appears to be a very important nutrient for body builders. When supplemented, it may help reduce the amount of muscle breakdown that occurs because other tissues that need glutamine will not rob the glutamine stored in the muscle cells. L-Glutamine works extremely well and is priced way below retail!
Amazon Price: $37.49 (as of 07/06/2009)
1Fast400 Beta-Alanine, 500-Grams
Beta-alanine is one of the two amino acids (histidine being the other) that makes up the dipeptide carnosine (L-beta-alanyl-L-histidine). Growing research shows Beta-alanine to be a very effective performance enhancers and lean mass building supplement. Research shows:
-Beta-Alanine availability is the limiting factor in muscle carnosine synthesis.
-Muscle carnosine levels were higher after 10 weeks of beta-alanine supplementation than after 4 weeks, showing that beta-alanine's effects are best experienced over long term supplementation.
-Beta-alanine supplementation increases total work done during aerobic exercise.
-Beta-alanine enhances endurance performance
-Beta-Alanine delays the onset of neuromuscular fatigue
-Adding Beta-alanine to creatine supplementation leads to greater increases in lean mass than creatine alone.
-It is clear that current research shows Beta-Alanine to be an effective performance enhancer and enhances lean mass gains when combined with creatine.
