Are there websites that will capsule noots for you?

I was curious if there were sites that anyone knew of that allowed you to customize your own pills, such as dosages and the ingredients you desired, then they would capule them and send them to you, ready to take. I like the idea packing my own stack of noots into capsules, but it seems like a bit of an undertaking.
I look forward to hearing your experiences!

Definitely feasible, just expensive. Not many people would have the infrastructure and supply already set up for such a task as well. If /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb didn't already have a million and a half things on his plate, it's something he might would consider. Also the folks over at Powder City. But yeah, it'd definitely be a neat service. I personally just cap my own stuff though, and would probably continue to do it that way in the interest of saving money.

The cost/benefit ratio would not be feasible for most people on small runs. We do 100,000 to a million capsule runs at a time, to reduce costs. Cost per capsule will skyrocket for smaller custom runs. Just the time to setup and clean the encapsulation machine is 3-4 hours. More advanced quick-change encapsulation machines start at $400,000, and go up from there. There is a reason that nobody has successfully kept a custom capsule business going. It's not because people wouldn't like it, or that they aren't smart business people. Production encapsulation in a GMP environment is VERY expensive.
