Hi Aimerz,Viva Labs Reduced Gluathione is in vegetable capsule form, thereby allowing you to open the capsules to mix the powder into beverages or sprinkle atop meals.

It's a capsule. So you can take it apart and put it on a spoon for the child. I suggest mixing it in with a bit of fruit flavored yogurt. I can't swallow pills either, so I understand.

I am not sure. They absorb without food. I do know crushing can alter some pills or supplements. I would suggest chewable citrate or liquid. There are some great bariatric chews out there as well as others. Good luck.

Well, I bought mine to break up a large, bad tasting pill, so I have not tried to fill these with any type of ingredients. If it was a fine powder, couldn't you just put it in a bowl, dip the larger portion of the capsule I to it, then attach the other part of the capsule?

As long as the child is supervised because, there are a few small. Parts that can be swallowed. Hope this helped!

I don't think any of these are small enough to swallow, but I would check the website and make sure. I forget what the age limit was, but I have seen and played with the toys, lol, with my grandson, and they do not seem small enough to fit in their mouths. The long ones are small in circumference, but are too long to be easily swallowed. Hope this helps!

No, the smallest piece is at least 3 inches long by 1 inch high by 3/8 inch thick. No child could get that in his mouth and successfully swallow it.

I imagine you can. Place in a small plastic bag or something that won't fly all over and try not to crush too small. Then put in a spoon. I wouldn't put in a liquid as the pieces might get stuck on the bottom.

Depends on the child and if they put things in their mouths or not. I gave it to a four yr. old.

I never tried it what I do is use 2 metal measuring spoons crush one pill and put it inside the mini vanilla oreos and dunk it in milk the only way my son will eat it. Hope this helps somewhat :)

The pills are very small. I have one kid that can swallow without a problem and another one that has an issue. I have been flicking the pill to the back of his throat (one at a time). For my kid it is totally a mental thing.

Many, if not all pills are crush-able, and so are these. If you have the time, and willing to use a pistal and mortar, you can crush these pills and spread the powder on food or in a smoothie.

Not at all. I bought them for my 1 year old. Parts not at all small enough to be put fully in the mouth let alone swallowed.

Hello Frances, I cannot swallow pills at all and these are quite large in my opinion. But, good news - just let them dissolve in your mouth. They break down quickly, have no taste, a bit "sandy" in texture. The exterior is chewy. I have no problems at all with my throat seizing up when I let the softgels dissolve. Great product from a fine company.

I had sent these to my 4yr old and 18th mo. old granddaughters.I called my daughter-in-law and she said that the blocks weren't small enough to swallow (even for an adult. She compare the size to a large ice cube. Hope this helps.

The tablets are about the size of an aspirin or a little bigger, but they are not smooth or slick, and they start to dissolve quickly. They could be easily crushed and mixed with something. They do have a vitamin flavor, but that could maybe work. If she doesn't have a problem with the taste of them, chewing might be okay for a while. Best of luck!

Yes, quite easily with a pill splitter. Can also be crushed if need be. My daughter had a feeding tube and needed the salt to be dissolved in the formula. Hope this helps.

If your child can disassemble it I guess some of the screws could be a hazard but there isn't really anything else small enough to swallow.
