Can I just add this to water and drink it? I'm a little apprehensive after reading about this in the pill form.

Yes. I just add a small amount of water in a glass, give it a good stir and shoot it. It's a little gritty but thickens quickly so you want to get it down fast.I then follow up with a fresh 8oz glass of water.

That's exactly what I do. I find that adding it to my shake makes the shake extremely thick. So I just take it first thing in the morning with a small cup of water, add it, stir it quickly and drink the glass quickly because it will chunk up in water, you may need to quickly add a little more water right after to rinse the rest of the fiber out of the glass and not waste it. :-D Hope this helps

I take about half a teaspoon with a little bit of water or coffee and drink it quickly followed by a cup of plain water or juice. I also give it to my fat cat mixed with some wet food and water to keep her feeling fuller longer. So far working great for both of us. I can finally control my tendency to binge eat. Great product.

You could, but it's better and easier to use it in food or smoothies as a thickener and get it into your diet that way. Go on Pinterest and lookup THM Glucomannan recipes. There's smoothies, sauces, and puddings. All really good.

I would not do that. I purchased this to use as a thickener in puddings, sauces, creating pie filling with fruit and water and sweetener. I understand it can be a choking hazard if not handled with care. It helps stablize blood sugar but I would use it in foods myself. It takes 1/2-1 tsp to thicken a sauce depending on how much you are fixing.

Take it out of the package and drink through it like a straw. All your questions have been explained already in the comments section. I suggest you take a moment and read them.

Try not to think about the pill as you swallow. Put the pil lengthwise on you tongue and gulp the water like you are very thirsty and there is no pill in your mouth. Works for me.

The product has effervescent qualities that apparently assist with better absorption. Once you add water and stir, the volume increases due to (as someone said) the release of gas. It's best to just add it to water and drink immediately. I'm really not sure that this does anything although as a marketing factor it does raise ones interest. It does increase the thermogenic effect and you may also get a little gittery so if you do purchase start with the minimum dose.

I crumble it a little, and combine with water. The package says you can add water or not, but I think it's healthier with water.

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 don't have the capsules, mine is the syrup and I use a dropper to take it sublingual. From what i know you , you shouldn't open capsules, its best to take them as they are. I have that problem too but since its only one pill twice a day, I don't think about it and just put some water in my mouth first, then the pill and then swallow it all.

Yes, you take it with water. Put it in 1 0z of water (very small amount) and I add 3 drops of Iodine to it. I have been doing this now for about a year. I have got many other people to get started on this as well. My husband, my kids, my aunt, my mother in law, father in law and my own parents. Love this stuff and the reason for taking it is vital to your health. Hope this helps.

Putting it into hot water is the easiest way. It is entirely safe to drink if it is not dissolved.

It is a powder and you mix it with water to take it. Make sure you follow directions on the label.

I started by taking it as a tea like they suggested, but I can't drink hot, bland water (yuck). I just take 1/4 as a pill before bed. Just make sure you drink a lot of water.

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.

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

I was confused too, but I believe you add water to activate it. However I believe that you don't want to do it until you're ready to use it.

Yes. I successfully added it to a Smoothie. It was good. I didn't try it with only water. It's a quality product I like it.

do not worry that the pills go down well and does not cause any harm. Drink plenty of water and take them one at a time. thx! :)

I don't know if that would work. I would try to put it into a milkshake or a juice blend, not just plain water. I don't know how water soluble this is, or how it might taste.
