measuring bulk powders

[icanrace]

what is the best way to measure out bulk powders when looking for a specific gram count?

A lot of the bulk powders do not come with a scoop.

I am just wondering if there is a cooking measuring device that would give someone an accurate measurment.

Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

a scale

Depends on what kind of powder youve got. If its whey, then youll need a measuring cup... if its taurine, a teaspoon works OK.

So we need that info.

Yes, a scale. Where are you from? Where is this place?

Taurine
Acetyl-L-Carnitine Powder
L-Tyrosine Powder

if you ordered from bulknutrition, youre gonna need you some measuring spoons, for example, 1/4 teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon, 1 teaspoon, tablespoon.

do you know what those equal in grams?

it would vary by powder (different densities), which is why you need a scale to measure accurately.

that makes sense guys.
Can I get a scale at a local store? A cheap one?

 

[KentDog]

yeah, I got mine from Wal-Mart. But it depends on what you consider cheap. I got a digital one for $30-$40 but you could try to go non-electronic if it doesn't bother you.

where are they in Wal-Mart? The pharmacy area?
Thanks for the help all

If these are Bulknutritions products, then he has how much is in a 1/4 teaspoon on the label.



Acetyl-L-Carnitine Powder 1/4 tsp = 640mg

Bulk Nutrition also has decent scales

I did not order these from Mike, they came from a custom nutrition place. I'm at work now and do not have the link, nor can I remember the web address.

I will look into a digital scale for sure. Thanks again guys for your help

Purdue Power recommended them to me Damn good prices!

Thanks for the help

many places to get cheap digital scales, Wal-Mart, Kmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, etc. just about any place that has cooking utensils and supplies carry them

 

[icanrace]
