I used to do this with vitamin capsules when my children were young. You can also break the capsule open and just pour it into the mouth. It is not all that bad tasting. But, if the person tends to be fussy, use the juice.

This product is made to open after it leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine, where it begins working. If capsule is opened and the loose powder is swallowed, some or all of the powder will be destroyed by stomach acids and not work as intended. Perhaps you could buy the smallest dose capsules and give the necessary amount of smaller capsules with or in the liquid or soft food.

You can always open the capsules but I would ask my doctor before I do it. Even tho I know you can

Yes, it is a powder too and will mix with about anything. It is a little slow to dissolve. The flavor can be a little strong. Add some juice too--?

You should be able to add the whole capsule to 1 tablespoon of applesauce and just swallowing it without compromising the effects. I did that for years with my Mom and Dad who couldn't swallow capsules or pills. Hope this helps.

Yes, you need to make the capsules yourself. I just bought the kit off here that everyone else recommended (The Capsule Machine) and it works perfectly. A little messy but I'm getting the hang of it.

I have never open the pills. I sense it would be okay opening and ingesting considering the contents inside is what is needed. However the pill encased helps to release the contents slower rather than faster. You might want to do some research on the web.

The pill is a medium sized vegetarian type capsule; so you could break it open and take the powder with food or drink. This could change how effective it is, depending on how you do it.

I cannot take tablets but only capsules. These are easy to swallow capsules; therefore, they can simply be opened to take the contained powder by itself without the capsule encasement.

I have an older vita-mix. I know there has been some debate between blending and juicing. I think juicing is the way to go. I rather have veggie juice than anything made in the vita-mix.

No offence intended but this is one of the weirdest questions I've ever seen. Have you ever seen an average juicer? lol. Picture a blender with lots of attachments. Then, you need to take it all apart and clean it. It's doable, but cumbersome. I'd rather do my juice at home, put it in Mason jars and drink it within three hours. Just my opinion.

I like the powder form. You could premix but it does not take long to disslve the poder. For me I would mix it it if whrn it is time for me to drink it.

Upon speaking with our Product Specialist, they said that you are able to make tea out of the powder. The capsules should be a 2 piece capsules that you are able to pull apart and take out the powder from within.

I take it by mouth (1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon, 1 -2 times daily) and I make my own capsules. I've put it in smoothies and added it to tea. The taste isn't bad, but its nothing to savor either.

This vitamin powder will have a better taste if you mix it with juice. I have also tried it in water and the taste is not good. I have used this for quite a while now and always mix it with orange juice, however my husband has mixed it with apple cider with good results.

The oil in the plastic bottles is free -flowing so you can just squirt the dosage out /I squirt some right into a glass of juice. The capsules would have the oil encased in them so you take them as you would a pill.

For me the capsules are the way to go. The powder has a terrible taste to it. I can swallow five capsules with water and find that it works just as well. It is an easy way to supplement your fibre.

I've looked into the difference between the powder and the juice, and it says the powder is just as good as the juice. Since I've started taking it, I've seen a huge difference!

Yes, you can open the capsule. Beware, though, of the sell-by date. I bought this on amazon a few months ago, and I was pretty angry to see my bottle expired FOUR years ago! Sell by was Jan 2010.
