I think you would end up taking less capsules each time BUT more frequently .....

IF the frequency that you take a capsule is "LESS" than the 1/2 life of a compound, then there is a residual left when you take the next dose. This would "ADD" on top on the previous dose, making the blood level higher then it would have been without the previous dose. This cycle continues if you continue to take another dose at an interval "LESS" than the 1/2 life AND the blood levels continue to "accumulate" until it maxes for that dose. THIS is what allows you to take LESS CAPSULES and achieve a higher blood saturation level.

I've created a dozen or so spreadsheets using different 1/2 life values AND different numbers of capsules .... if I find a place to "store" the pdf files on the net I'll post them.
