Can these be swallowed whole?

They were designed to be subligual - desolve in mouth. If you want to swallow whole, get a B12 you can swallow. The subligual supposedly is more effective. I have found it to be. My husband doesn't sleep alot during the day like he did.

I got really tired of the flavor and probably swallowed more than half of them with no problem at all. Hope that helps!

They dissolve under your tongue, and eventually to the point you would just swallow. I am not sure whether you would still benefit from the absorption if chewed.

In a word, no. You can eat them right out of the bag. But remember not to eat more than 10 - 12 a day to avoid toxicity.

these are really large. If you have trouble swallowing large ones these probably aren't the best for you.

No, they are very pliable & would dissolve. Even when water touches them they begin to do that. I hope you are not trying to do something harmful to something unable to protect itself. If so, try it on yourself first.

I would say you have to swallow. They are soft, like liquid in a gel. Not like a gummy bear.

No, just take the whole capsule, it dissolves later on once you've ingested it.

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.

No. They are to be swallowed whole and on an empty stomach. No food for at least 2 hours prior or after

I don't think so. I would suggest that you repot them in a small cup or dish.

Swallow whole. Whatever you do don't try to take the powder in something because it is horribly nasty tasting

I had no trouble swallowing them, but I can take pills with no problem. They weren't real big. Sorry I can't help you with this.

Well, they are soft enough to chew BUT no designed as such - will blacken the entire inside of you mouth and between teeth etc. Can be broken into smaller size (carefully - the particles get everywhere). I'd strongly advise ONLY swallow whole with good amounts of water. They work.

I have no problem swallowing them. They're gel capsules about 3/4" long, and just slide down the throat.

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..
