[CM...] Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I have been putting my morning dose in goats milk the last ten days or so and haven’t been doing so good. I know it takes a while to adjust some say, but I never have tolerated dairy well that is why I’m trying goats milk instead of regular milk bc it’s less problematic. Plus they say goats milk is naturally homogenized. Would I be ok using almond milk if I plan on shaking it? I’m thinking about using water but feel like maybe almond milk might be a happy medium since so many people have strong opinions about water. Is almond milk homogenized? Or should I just use water and shake it to make a suspension. Anyone have any opinion? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[bu...] Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Any fatty liquid will work...cow's milk, goat's milk, almond milk, soy milk, etc. And since the benzo is lipid-soluble, it makes a true solution, not a suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[CM...] Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 You always say for it to make a solution, it needs to be homogenized. How will almond milk make a solution. I don’t see or read that it’s homogenized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Gr...] Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Yes you can use almond milk. I used soy milk for a while with klonopin and had no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[CM...] Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 But isn’t the whole point of using milk because of the fat, and also because the milk is homogenized and makes a solution? The first ingredient in almond milk is water, and I don’t see anything about it being homogenized. Doesn’t that all negate the whole point of it all? Plus it has a bunch of other ingredients in it. That won’t effect the medicine? So confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almond milk has emulsifiers and crap added to it to keep it from separating but you also shake almond milk before using it which redistributes the fat anyway. Commercial almond milk is basically sugar water and a couple almonds, thickening agents (carrageenan), and emulsifiers like lecithin which keep the oils from separating from the water and crappy synthetic vitamins. Now if you make your own almond milk, separation happens much more quickly which makes it much less useful. Even though it’s not marked as homogeneous, commercial almond milk is pretty much homogenized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see or read that it’s homogenized. Not correct. Benzos are lipid-soluble That means they dissolve in fats. As long as there is adequate fat content in the liquid, the benzo will be dissolved, and go into solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[bu...] Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 " Although 30 of the 40 calories in an 8-ounce cup of unsweetened almond milk are from fat, none of the fat is saturated or trans fat, nor does it contain any cholesterol." http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/healthy-almond-milk-3883.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately emulsifiers do the same thing in commercial nut milks so it doesn’t matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
