The coating disappears rapidly as soon as I put it in my mouth. I've choked on it a few times. Any suggestions for getting this down easier?

I've never experience that! You could try cutting them in half. I also use magnesium oil, you just spray it on your skin. I've read that it's absorbed better and more fully trans-dermally (through the skin).

I can only take these pills with food. It kind of tricks me into thinking I'm just swallowing food. Since I take them for bedtime I have a light snack, take 2 of these and I'm fine. Then I brush my teeth. :)

I sometimes break these big ones in half and have been known to grind them down.You can get mag/calcium in liquid if this doesn't work

I put several between sheets of plastic wrap, 2 sheets on each side. Hit with small hammer to crush. Then I put crushed bits in applesauce, yogurt, or even just take in mouth and wash down with liquid.

This is what I do. I place the Pill at the back of my Throat, facing straight, so it can slide down easily, when you swallow the Water. I do this with all Large Pills and Capsules. Never put the Pill on your Tongue, it will start to dissolve immediately.

Yes, the tablets are a little large. I just try to get it down as quickly as possible with lots of water.

Washing them down with orange juice or smoothie works better than water / coffee and provides a coating.

Probably have to get it hot to thin out the viscosity of the resin like paste. I just stab it with toothpicks and use that.

Try pouring in some Lime Away or some other such product. You might have to let it sit for awhile. Rinse well.Hope that helps.

You just need to look for "enteric coating", it's a coating that apparently doesn't get dissolved until it's so far down your digestive track, that you won't get a fishy tasting burp. They are a common product, I've taken hundreds of these pills over the years and NEVER had that taste.

I had the same problem. Here's what I did to fix it. After you fill it up, while the dish is filling, loosen the top cap for a second then tighten it up pretty tight. I think this causes a vacuum and it works like it should. Hope this works for you!

Squeeeze it straight out of the tube. It is very very sticky. Wear gloves when you apply it.

Slightly gritty texture, but it melts in your mouth so fast it's hard to detect!

A quick spritz of some sort of Clorox based kitchen spray swirled in the carafe does it for me (iced tea is the culprit for me too). Just make sure to wash out very well after.

To answer your question. I put a small amount in a little water and let it set. When I went to check on it there was no difference.. I think that because it is hydrolyzed it doesn't set up like gelatin, even though it is gelatin. I will let it stay overnight in the dish and see if that works. It dissolves very fast. I will get back to you. Gwen

Scrape off the areas that are gooey and wet then mix again and re pour. I found that it really helped when I mixed it up on a scale so I had the same amount of both in weight. Had no problems after that. Also I was told by the company to mix well in a disposable container for exactly a minute then pour in a new container and mix for another whole minute with a new mixing stick. Throw both containers away after that.

It was a gift for a friend's son and I told them to do what I do with my thermos. Go to the store and purchase some inexpensive denture cleaning tablets. Throw a couple in the bottle over night filled with water, then wash with warm water and soap the next day. You could also use a drop of bleach in water. I keep a baby bottle/glass brush on hand if I have something like juice which is sticky and I want to be a bit more thorough. If you feel there is an after taste issue, you can also soak over night once a week with a teaspoon of baking soda in it. Several options for you, I hope that help.

Most of the time I rock it back and forth and will come off. If not I'll gurgle with warm water. As warm as you can handle. Hope it helps you. ;-)

This does not sound right at all. Mine is like a very soft gel--goes on skin like silk. I do manipulate it around in the tube before using to make sure all is mixed well. You might try that.

Apply the mixture, put it in your mouth and wait 3 minutes and it's hardened! Instructions are on the box.

It takes very little. Shake a tiny amount and keep adjusting to taste. Most likely a pinch will be plenty.

Contact the company and they can send you some more of the molding paste. The important thing is to work quickly when you are molding the mouth guard.

Its a hard cheese, so I would suggest two options. A: Maybe avoid the Ziploc - the mold could be because of saliva/moisture. B: try putting in refrigerator and see what happens. Please do let me know if either option works.
