You could try that but if the ingredients are too bitter then just stir them into orange juice or some juice that masks the flavor, they might actually absorb better that way.

I guess "large" is a relative term. I am able to swallow them without difficulty because they are capsules and not tablets or pills. They're not quite as wide as a multivitamin but about as long.

No, you are not letting the pills do what they are design to do. These pills are time release pills. Take the pill with water. If you are breaking them open swallow the powered with water. Wait 30 min before you eat.

I have never had this experience with the capsules. If the seal was broken when you got them then throw it out. If not, how are you tasting them when they should be swallowed (don't hold them on your tongue) not chewed. You should be taking them with meals, maybe the food aftertaste made them taste strange? I never have tasted anything strange and I have been taking them for a year. Sometimes when you are not feeling well things will taste strange. In any case throw out when you are not sure and try again.

No they are solid pills, you just swallow them, it is not a chewable tablet

These are not chewable. They are capsules. I use a different brand now, and they say that you can pull apart the capsules to stir the contents into food. I would not recommend water though due to possible bitter taste.

I can only take these pills with food. It kind of tricks me into thinking I'm just swallowing food. Since I take them for bedtime I have a light snack, take 2 of these and I'm fine. Then I brush my teeth. :)

Im unsure. I bought them for a baby shower but never got the chance to chew any. Im sorry

I would say no. But if you can stand the taste to chew them that's up to you. The vitamin is small.

Mine frequently get stuck at the back of my throat if I don't eat something immediately after taking them. No amount of liquid helps me personally once they've broken open.

No, I let mine dissolve in water and then use. I've never tried chewing them.

I don't know about opening them and putting in water but I can take the capsule without water

I have never open the pills. I sense it would be okay opening and ingesting considering the contents inside is what is needed. However the pill encased helps to release the contents slower rather than faster. You might want to do some research on the web.

I wouldn't but are not hard to swallow just take them with your favorite drink...they really work and not hard on your stomach.

I use the capsules. So, possibly they could be opened and split in half. I also use the gel capsules which obviously could not be split. I'm sorry I have not used the tablets. But I will say the supplement has helped me tremendously.

Do you open them up and put on your food? Since you have a hard time swallowing pills you should open them and dissolve it in water. I never did that but you can try it. If anything you should take it 30-60 minutes before eating. Serve yourself more than usual and eat it all even if you feel full.

If you have an issue with swallowing them, they do chew easily. Although the flavor has a shellfish quality to them. I'm not someone who can swallow medium to large pills, and I wound up chewing them.
