Even though neither one of these things has any pharmaceutical, they’re sugar pills. But a white pill is not as good as a blue pill. That really flipped me out.
Turns out though, that that’s not even where it stops. If you have capsules, they’re more effective than tablets in any form. A colored capsule, that’s yellow on one end and red on the other is better than a white capsule.
But if you change the form that you give the placebo in, like you make a smaller pill, and color it blue, and stamp a letter into it, it is actually measurably more effective.
Dosage has something to do with this. One pill twice a day is not as good at three pills.
