Can this be crushed for easy swallowing?

They certainly can be crushed. I have previously taken the 1000 mg tablets and cut them in half in order to just take 500 mg. I however have not ever crushed one completely and taken it but I don't see why that would be any problem. Hope this is helpful..

I don't think so. I looked to see if you could break it in half and you can't. These are pretty solid. However, it seems that there are those who are pretty resourceful and manage to do one or the other. I wouldn't.

I have never crushed this. I imagine it would taste horrible. However, I do know that ester-C now makes a powdered form that is flavored and can be mixed with water to make a fizzy liquid drink. It seems that it would be similar to Emergen-C, which I currently use and is very good.

im pretty sure you can use a grinder or mortar and pestle, etc to pulverize it and you can also put it in capsules, so yes

It's a combination of both soluble and unsoluble fiber, so it won't dissolve completely. It does blend well enough with the water to make a soupy slurry that's easy to drink. I just use water and a spoon. Every once in a while the final gulp will contain a few piece of seeds of fiber, but a single rinse of the mouth is all it ever takes to get rid of it. For the most part it stirs into water quickly, evenly, and is easy to drink.

Yes, but make sure you drink plenty of water with it. Will cause heartburn if not fully swallowed.

Not easily. You could slice it open and scoop it out with your hands, but it would make an awful mess. I wouldn't do it.

Need to be swallowed...not chewable. I found a very good (much smaller) product by FINEST brand (Walgreen's brand) and you only need to take one a day and seems to do as good a job.....might want to give it a try if size is the problem.

You can crush the Kava tablets or let me put it this way, I don't see why you couldn't providing you have something to crush them with. However, I personally never crushed one.

I'm probably not the best person to ask, because I do it the hardcore way. I put a bit of water into my mouth, dump in the measured amount of powder, swish and swallow. If there is grit left, I swish with more water. For me, quick and painful is easier. It's not that bad though.

I would be hard to do because you would have to crunch it up first. Some of the contents or seeds. It is not a powder mix

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 don't think you'll have to crush these. My 2 yr old eats similar vitamins to these and has been since before he was two. My older son takes these d hist and likes the taste. Theyre not very big.

It is OK to break tablet into two or three or to crush. After crushing you can stir in room temp water or juice and drink as well. Cheers.

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.

You can squeeze it out if you squeeze really hard, I think. I haven't tried. But it wouldn't be easy :)

It should break apart easily with a spoon is what I used. If it won't something is not right. Yes it should be powderlike.

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.

no you can blow it up with your mouth. it takes a little bit of lung but it's not bad.
