Can you tell me if this product is in capsule form that can be pulled apart? My daughter cannot swallow pills, so I essentially need a powder form.

It is a capsule and it appears that one could pull it apart to release the powder inside. Good luck!

Hi- yes, the capsule can be pulled apart; However, if I may ask, the purpose of your daughter taking this and her age? If it is just for the possible preventative effects of curmcumin, perhaps the ordinary use of turmeric the spice might be just as good, simply sprinkled on different types of food, such as soups, stews, chicken, etc. I do this. The longvida was purchased specifically for someone with alzheimers, since it is supposed to have beneficial effects for the brain, and this product supposedly allows more to cross the blood-brain barrier. I am not really so sure that just mixing normal turmeric in something with an oil base would not do the same thing.

The capsule can be pulled apart or cut with a razor blade to release the powder.

I have never pulled apart a capsule but it looks like this is possible - they are the usual clear capsules in two parts, one side fitting into the other. You can also buy the curcumin in bulk directly from the manufacturer (Amazon doesn't appear to carry this ) http://www.nutrivene.com/view_item.php?id=344

I disagree that it's a large capsule and I have a lot of trouble swallowing. However, any powdered magnesium in a capsule can be sprinkled on applesauce or mixed into yogurt, etc. I often choke on capsules and twist them open. The capsule is just a transporter. You can use magnesium in many forms and I've even soaked my feet in it (in a cheaper form)

Yes it is a powder in a see through capsule. But it depends what is easy to swallow for you, because if you take a regular straw and cut an inch off, that would be the size of the capsule.

Wow, I don't know. Perhaps the manufacturer could best answer this question. I am thinking a bit of the powder just seeped out of the capsules but better get it from the 'horses mouth'.

They are a soft capsule, and the size of an antibiotic pill. You could always take apart and mix with water or some applesauce for example.

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.

They are the standard size capsules that you find in most supplements. (sorry don't know the actual number), but either way, I think it may be too large for a young child to swallow whole, you may have to open and put into apple sauce or something.

Not sure exactly what you mean, but it is a capsule form that you'd be able to open...very easy to swallow and very effective. I've lost 22 pounds since Thanksgiving--yes I'm trying, but this product has reduced my appetite quite a bit. Good luck!

I think "better" is a matter of perspective. I find either work well for me, depending on my need. I prefer the pill or tablet form. But capsules do the job well too. I just have a problem swallowing capsules. I "presume" pills break down faster on an empty stomach, but that is not scientific. Hope you try the product. It does work and relieves my symptoms, even when I take less than recommended.

It is probably the capsule itself that is made from gelatin. If you have vegan concerns you may consider emptying the pills into a shot glass with a splash of water and drinking them. Just give the pill a gentle squeeze at both ends and a bit of a twist and pull and they will come apart easily.

the capsule is pretty large. but you can buy the powder and add it to liquids or open the capsules and stir the contents into just about anything. I have even read of baking the powder into cookies.

Hello K. Mershon, These are not hard pills nor liquid gel capsules, but rather are a dry powder capsule. Feel free to ask other questions, should you have any. Enjoy! Jeff =)

I would check with your physician first, but don't see any inherent reason why this should be a problem for under 10. It is a milk product; I am mildly lactose intolerant, but have not had any problem with this product, and I take 1 scoop twice daily. Capsules would probably be easier for a child to swallow than the powder, which is not meant to be dissolved. It is supposed to pass trough the stomach and into the intestines to work, and that is why it works best on an empty stomach with a full glass of water to flush it through.

They are not tablets! They are easy to swallow powder filled capsules. Hope this helps?

Hi Corey, Yes its' ok if the powder is on the outside of the pills. You can purchase the product in a pill or powder form. I hope this helps.Love

It has been 1-1/2 years since I bought this & do not recall the size, however, personally I do not like the added ingredients in this & most tablets/capsules so I have switched to the powder form when available. There are a number of suppliers of the powder form on Amazon, read the labels if you want to avoid additives & fillers.

They are not sealed enough to be able to carry loose powder. They are great for all pills if any size. I take several vitamins multiple times daily and have had no problem with them. I take a liquid iron and calcium daily as well but I keep those in measurable jars that I found in-line as well. Those are great since I only need them to go up to 30 ml. I did not find them on amazon but all I did was search the web for small measurable jars and after searching multiple sites, I found some that I like the best. Hope that helps.
