Can the capsules be opened? I would like to add it to smoothies. What about the taste? If I can put them in a smoothie would I taste it? Thank you :)

The dessicated liver comes in plain gelatin capsules that can be easily opened (they are not sealed). It does taste like liver (because it is liver LOL). I would recommend just swallowing the capsules along with your smoothie, you'll get the same benefits from it and not have to deal with the flavor.

It probably would have a strong taste, but not too bad. And yes you can open the capsule.

The capsules can be opened. I can't say if they should be. The taste is absolutely horrendous. I don't have burps afterwards but I could not imagine drinking a smoothie of this flavor. But hey, if you can handle it, go for it! As terrible as it tastes, though, I do recommend it because I take it for low iron and I don't have any nausea from them like I do iron pills or even a multivitamin.

Yes, the capsules can be opened but liver is still liver when you expose it to a smoothie. You can try but you may find you have to cover the taste with a stronger flavor. I could smell it when I tried to add just a bit of one capsule to my toddler's cereal.

They are capsules, and I would say they are pretty large. I have no idea what they taste like inside, but I would imagine you could open them if you wanted to.

Yes, you can add it to a protein shake/smoothie. I did notice a very mild flavor difference but not enough to bother me at all. I recommend that you use a blender otherwise it won't mix very well . . . hope this is helpful to you.

I just swallow them and dont taste them. I take half the recommended dose (one pill rather than 2) because I am small (103 lbs). This works for me. I dont like the powder either but folks who drink smoothies seem to think it is good. I prefer taking the Spirulina with my morning drink along with my vitamins. It sits better in the stomach when consumed in conjunction with food.

I've never done that but I don't see any reason why not. They're very small pills so they're easy to swallow. I hate swallowing pills, but if they're gel caps and small that's good!

I have and I used both in my smoothies. Only by themselves you really can't say they were an incredible experience in taste.

Always drink plenty of liquid (water is probably best) when taking a capsule. I've had no trouble swallowing these capsules.

Hello dear Aubrey,I think you cannot buy this item through amazon. This is probably more expensive then in a regular store because of the shipping costs, but i suggest you to see if it is cheaper buying more than 1, for example 50 or 100 capsules, it is more normal to people buy that.Always available to answer your questions

Yes you can put it in your smoothie, but not sure about making a smoothie with it..

I have no problem swallowing pills, so I say NO, I did not detect a taste for as fast as I pop the pills. Good luck...

Please, for the love of all things good, no not get powder. It tastes too bad and nothing can mask it. It's not worth whatever savings you find. Get the capsules. Trust me.

I've been taking them regularly for several years. I pop them just before lunch (other supplements before breakfast), I've never had an issue with after taste.My wife took them for a bit at random times and did complain about the after taste; I think the key is to have other "stuff" in the mix ! Take them just before a meal.

Maybe try doing 1/2 a scoop twice per day instead of 1 full scoop to dilute the taste and texture more. I personally put mine into my raw protein shake every morning with fresh fruit blend it in my blender and you can barely taste it. I hope this helps you out a bit... It's awesome stuff don't give up just try some different ways to make it work. I have noticed a huge difference since taking this product I highly recommend it!!!

Margaret you kind of asked the wrong person cuz I can't swallow anything but tiny pills. This pill is just a regular capsule size and I pull it apart and put powder in water and drink it. It has no taste whatsoever. If you can swallow pills easily then this one would be just fine. Hope this helps.

They are the same size, but either of the capsules can be opened. Then just add the contents to water, flavored water, or juice and stir well. Many customers who have had issues with the size, do this with no negative side effects.

I have always used the capsules and found them to work really great. Hope this helps.

Do not swallow capsules, swallow what inside of them. I do and it works. Thank you.
