Abstract
A dispensing capsule has an upper cap having a concave depression and a lower cap. The lower cap defines an internal chamber adapted to contain a first ingredient and has an upper flexible seal, a lower sealing member, and a plunger disposed in the internal chamber, whereby the plunger is engaged with the upper flexible seal. The flexible seal may be a blast or flexible bellow. The upper cap is threadingly engaged with the lower cap and lower cap adapted to threadingly engage a container, such as a bottle, IV bag, or the like. Twisting the upper cap with respect to the lower cap causes the concave depression to apply downward force to the upper flexible seal, causing the plunger to displace downward and break the lower sealing member, dispensing said first ingredient from the internal chamber into the container below.
