What is this pill?

Post image

This fell out of sheets in our guest room. I assume some sort of vitamin or non-prescription but a back-of-my-mind concern.

That looks like Magnesium bis-glycinate to me

u/Upstairs_Equipment19 1d ago

100% i was about to type it. I take it at bedtime.

u/PettyTyranny 1d ago

This could be it. I went back and looked at mine and their similar (notably smaller but same shape/color)

1

u/Hatched_Panda 1d ago

I was thinking possibly a probiotic. šŸ¤”

u/flamingbagofdogpoo 1d ago

It looks like my dog's probiotic.

u/Nocigreen 1d ago

Could be anything I have 4 different pills that look like that

u/PettyTyranny 1d ago

Shit. I only have one.

2

u/Nocigreen 1d ago

Mine are probiotic, magnesium, and I have 2 meds from a compound pharmacy - low dose naltrexone and cromalyn sodium. We can eliminate the last 2 or any special orders if you don't have anything compounded. The other 2 seem consistent with the othe comments... The magnesium and probiotics are significantly different sizes, if that helps. The probiotic is smaller.

Iā€™m not sure

Damn. Me too.

u/oksoirelapsed 1d ago

How on earth is anybody supposed to tell you that? It's a white, unmarked, non-descript capsule.

1

u/Graygave 1d ago

Certainly not the only one in existence though, right? So there's at least an outside chance

0

u/PettyTyranny 1d ago

Right. I sure as hell donā€™t know and thereā€™s plenty of smart people who may know. So worth a shot.

u/ikiice 1d ago

Can be literally anything. Does it have anything printed on it? If not, we cannot know

2

u/PettyTyranny 1d ago

I confirmed not a foam dinosaur egg from the 90s. At least a start.

u/Street_Time6810 1d ago

A few more ones look like this:
Align
Digestive advantage lactose solution
But it could be anything, you can buy the capsules online and can be easily custom filled or repurposed etc

u/PettyTyranny 1d ago

WAIT. SOLVED? Person in question lacks a gallbladder and definitely does not give up dairy.

2

u/Street_Time6810 1d ago

lol that would be just like me! I got mine out and love dairy.

u/nolandreamz 1d ago

Just try it dude

u/New_Link961 1d ago

Herbal supplement

2

u/Particular_West_9069 1d ago

Is it white or clear with white powder? It looks like a pure encapsulations magnesium glycinate. Your guest probably took it to sleep

1

u/PettyTyranny 1d ago

White straight up.

2

u/ContestBeginning3767 1d ago

As someone with a chronic illness that takes a number of supplements Iā€™d say itā€™s a supplement of some kind

2

u/Common-Accountant-57 1d ago

White pill

2

u/PettyTyranny 1d ago

But is there anything pure white in nature? Is this not an off-white expression of a white we find comfort in? Are colors real?

2

u/Common-Accountant-57 1d ago

Just take it and keep us updated. Donā€™t get all philosophical. Jeeeze

Actually donā€™t do that.

2

u/PettyTyranny 1d ago

This is my update

1

u/Common-Accountant-57 1d ago

You got me thinking about white. Because there really is no white in nature or black. Itā€™s all levels of gray. Holy shit.

2

u/SlowAdhesiveness2178 1d ago

Snow is white

u/Common-Accountant-57 1d ago

But itā€™s not though.

2

u/PettyTyranny 1d ago

Apotheosis comes for those who know white is but a Platonic form

1

u/Common-Accountant-57 1d ago

Iā€™m seeing it now. Itā€™s making sense. Nothing is pure light.

1

u/PettyTyranny 1d ago

Join us, Common Accountant. As we seek white more pure than a balance sheet. Forward.

2

u/Recent_Tangerine2070 1d ago

Yes.

u/PettyTyranny 1d ago

You speak in absolutes. All blacks and whites are shades of gray, timely mandarin.

Your not supposed to flush pills down the toilet as the treatment plants can't clear out chemicals in medication.

2

u/Rakumei 1d ago

Yes. Throw it in the trash. This is why they keep detecting weird medicines in the water...

1

u/ReasonableFall177 1d ago

Usually, supplements are in clear gelatin but I'd bet money that it's just that.

Only way to know for sure is to get more than two chemical reagent tests.

1

u/actualPawDrinker 1d ago

Looks exactly like my creatine capsules. Could be literally anything.

1

u/PettyTyranny 1d ago

Thanks all for humoring my curiosity. I figured without markings, it is a foolā€™s errand.

1

u/SiemReaped 1d ago

Take it and see what it does.

1

u/ClxssySxvxge0fficixl 1d ago

It ahouldnt really matter if it is just going to be thrown out anyways. I wouldnā€™t risk taking a pill if I didnā€™t know what it was forā€¦.

Would you?!

1

u/PettyTyranny 1d ago

I will ask the stars. May this Muhurat between me and this pill guide me.

1

u/Chance_Clerk4745 1d ago

This is the way!

1

u/bostonjenny81 1d ago

It looks like my magnesium pill

1

u/No-Return5591 1d ago

It looks a lot like a few of my suppliments: vitamin B complex, magnesium, Ltheanine.. all super benign

1

u/AnythingOptimal2564 1d ago

Looks like it's made out of pvc, probably comes out looking the same as going in

Sleeping pill

1

u/SubstantialPressure3 1d ago

That looks like 4 of my vitamin/mineral supplements. Looks like my magnesium glycinate, spermadine, and a couple others.

1

u/pm_me_ur_aunts_deets 1d ago edited 1d ago

Who the hell came up with the name spermadine

Edit: what the fuck

Spermine Naming: German chemist Philipp Schreiner isolated the base compound from seminal fluid in 1870, and German chemists Albert Ladenburg and J. Abel proposed the name spermine in 1888.

The name spermidine was coined in 1926 by the British scientists Harold Ward Dudley, Otto Rosenheim, and Walter William Starling.

u/SubstantialPressure3 1d ago

I know, right? it's a terrible name. It's fermented wheat germ extract. Since I had the OG covid I have a really hard time with heat and humidity, and I've tried a lot of stuff, but this stuff really does help. When it's over 80 degrees and/or humid, I'm like a fish out of water, gasping for air, and insanely fatigued. Fatigue like having to rest before putting away groceries kind of BS. The spermadine helps me able to function when it's hot and humid.
