You should also search for chewable hair skin & nails vitamins. i know Natures Bounty carries some: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/470344754809505082/

It probably would have a strong taste, but not too bad. And yes you can open the capsule.

I find it much easier to swallow large pills in apple sauce. I don't mean crushing or emptying capsules, but whole pills in a spoonful of applesauce. I hope this helps.

I believe that gelatin is not kosher. You could always open the capsules and add the powder to applesauce or juice or milk, though.

Everything is relative but since they contain a lot of EPA and DHA they are pretty large, as most other capsules that holds a larger portion of the fatty acids. You can of course burst them and swallow the oil, but then you will get the fishy aftertaste so that is not recommended if you don't like that taste. If you take the pills with either a glass of water or some food, like yoghurt or similar fluid food, then it's quite east to swallow them. Personally I take them with a glass of water and then the capsules goes down easily and don't taste anything at all.

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.

The tablets are rather large. I would imagine you could cut them down, though there is no slit in the middle to help you. I have no problem swallowing them whole. But, if you struggle with large pills, you may have a hard time with these whole. They are fantastic vitamins though, and I researched them pretty thoroughly. Just for the sake of honestly answering you. I tried, it wasn't too difficult to cut in half with a chef's knife.

The capsules can be opened. I can't say if they should be. The taste is absolutely horrendous. I don't have burps afterwards but I could not imagine drinking a smoothie of this flavor. But hey, if you can handle it, go for it! As terrible as it tastes, though, I do recommend it because I take it for low iron and I don't have any nausea from them like I do iron pills or even a multivitamin.

These are capsules as opposed to tablets. I'm sure you could open the capsule & sprinkle it in water or juice to make swallowing it easier. Magnesium powder is on the sour side, so I'd put it in juice as opposed to water.

I've never done that but I don't see any reason why not. They're very small pills so they're easy to swallow. I hate swallowing pills, but if they're gel caps and small that's good!

I have not done so. But I'm sure you can. I crush pills for my wife who cannot swallow them. It does a great job.

yes, it is a capsule, and I am sure it can be opened, however, don't be surprised if it has a strong smell when opened and a bitter taste

Do not swallow capsules, swallow what inside of them. I do and it works. Thank you.

It's a very large capsule. If you have trouble swallowing, it might be better cut in half. I drink lots of juice when I take it!

Probably not. The only problem I could see is opening it. You have to twist it. It's a little hard to grip. If you're not careful the pills can fall out

any medication can be crushed, capsules can be opened up and placed into applesauce or pudding, pills that are extended release should not be crushed they loose the extended release.

I don't have the capsules, mine is the syrup and I use a dropper to take it sublingual. From what i know you , you shouldn't open capsules, its best to take them as they are. I have that problem too but since its only one pill twice a day, I don't think about it and just put some water in my mouth first, then the pill and then swallow it all.
