I was wondering if these pills could be crushed and mixed with liquid. I am thinking maybe put in a baggie and bash em up with a hammer. Done that?

I haven't done so personally as there are powdered versions of magnesium citrate readily available. This product contains some filler ingredients that aren't readily soluble as well as the coating mentioned by the other responder.

These pills are good and could crush with hammer but hard outer glycol shell might not mix but might. I'm sure they hardened shell to make them go down your throat better. They are horse pills.

Sure you can, I regularly break them in half and chew them up...they dont taste horrible, but they aren't candy, either.

I'm not sure if you can open and mix. That would probably be a question to ask the manufacturer. They are about 3/4 an inch by 1/4 inch. Average capsule.

Capsule size would probably be better, just to make sure there's no bleed-through if the taste of the pills is yucky. If you search, you can find a recipe to make something similar at home using peanut butter, a bit of flour, and some water or milk to moisten the mixture.

Don't think so. I have them in a canister in a cool dark corner of the kitchen. They are fine and great for the purpose, which for me is administering dog meds which are small pills that can be combined in the capsule, less chance of spitting 'em out.

No I haven't, but my personal experience tells me it would not be an effective way to crush meds. You'd be better off investing in a good old mortar and pestle.

You could pulverize it into powder in a Vitamix, or dissolve it in water. I'm not sure if you could pulverize it by hand (with mortar and pestle.)

I know that in general pill form will have to get through more process and probably will have more additives, thus as a result less pure. I am sure you get some benefit from the pill. However, this is very powerful product in liquid form. Personally I have been using it for years. Now I do not have to use it on regular basis. and it taste very good when you put in water, if you like use hot water and drink like a tea. Just a thought. (:

It comes in the form of a gel cap so no crushing would be involved. Simply open the cap. Whether it's as effective or not, I don't know.

If you are not good at swallowing pills, it can be difficult to swallow I imagine. It would be hard to crush them but I don't see anything wrong with doing that and putting em in a capsule, but that's my opinion.

Not such a big bottle as the pills are small...sealed ones would be a hassle to get the little pills out. My wife has used them for 20 years and me off and on for 10...2-3 little pills usually does the trick. 10 seconds and problem solved. + small pills go down easy

Surely the exact dose is not critical. Use pill splitter, or I suggest: Take 2 teaspoons & crush the pill. Divide the powder in half, dump in water & stir. Of course investing in a mortar & pestle is worth it IMHO. (search mortar & pestle).

The pill is a medium sized vegetarian type capsule; so you could break it open and take the powder with food or drink. This could change how effective it is, depending on how you do it.

They're not that type of capsule. So, yes, they would disintegrate if you put liquid in them. Hope that helps.

I don't see why you couldn't do that. I never thought of it. If I go on vacation I premeasure the powder into ziplock Baggie and take magic bullet. You would just need containers to put in fridge. Sounds like great idea!

They are not made to be broken in half. if you have a pill cutter they could be. My question to you is why would you want to take just half.You can not get too much B-12. I started with the 1,000 mcg and now take the 5,000mcg each day.

Well they're capsules so You'd just have to pull the pill apart. I don't see why not I take mine apart and mix it in my water when I don't want to swallow the whole thing so IMO yes

NOT in a small jar unfortunately. What we do is take them out of the package they are in and put them into small bottle. They do come out of the package fairly easy, but if you have a hard time with any type of package then you might like our idea. We've used a small knife on other packages just to get the pill out and put in our own small bottle.
