can the capsule be opening and split in half?

If you mean by knife, the answer is no. If you mean by pulling the capsule apart and pouring half of it into an empty gelatin capsule, then the answer is yes.

I'm not sure if you can open and mix. That would probably be a question to ask the manufacturer. They are about 3/4 an inch by 1/4 inch. Average capsule.

I have not tried a half recipe yet but I plan to. I dont see why it wouldnt be fine as long as all the ingrediants are cut in half.

I'm not sure, unless they are referring to the packaging (cardboard and clear plastic, if I remember correctly). Otherwise, these are all one piece. I guess, technically, you *could* break one into small pieces, but that would be applicable to almost anything at all.

It is made out of plastic. Not sure what you mean by "splitting it in two." perhaps in half? It might be hard to line up the scrolling after cutting it in half.

You should be able to open the pill and sprinkle contents. And by the way, grow a pair already :-)

So far, I haven't found a pill I couldn't split. I am extremely happy with this purchase as I take 28 pills a day (!) and two of them that are quite small have to be split. The rest are larger but I take them whole. 1/8 of an inch should be no problem at all.

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.

I've been taking these for years. It's not easy, but I have a hard time with child-proof caps also. You can open these without a knife. The packet can be torn in half on the serrated edge splitting the packet in half with 5 pills each. Then tear off at the serrated edge the larger pill section on one end. After that, the top corner of paper can be lifted off. Once the paper is off, the pills can be easily popped through the thin foil.

Yes, it can happen especially if a capsule opened up. The magnesium is tasteless. Thank you.

The only possibility of that would be in the capsule itself. I would check with the manufacturer for that.

We haven't actually tried that but it should work. If you cut the pills in half, then rotate them in the pill cutter, keeping the halves together, you should be able to then cut them again into quarters this time. As long as the pill isn't too tiny this should work. It's a pretty good pill cutter. We've had several that didn't work worth beans and this one works well.

Probably not. The only problem I could see is opening it. You have to twist it. It's a little hard to grip. If you're not careful the pills can fall out

The capsules are filled with the powder, not a gel. - I haven't tried to open one up, but I imagine you can.

MaxReduce is a gel cap. You can't break it in half. You might could open it and pour half out. I don't know if you would get all the benefit from it if you did that though. I just take mine early in the morning with plenty of water and some food.

Yes, you can split pills that are very small. I would not try that on my own very small tablets because I could not control/know if they split exactly in half, especially for rectangular shaped medicines. Splitting something 1/8 of an inch results in two 1/16 inch halves. I feel that is too small for me to confidently know my pill is split exactly in half. If the dosage is not critical I would use this pill splitter for 1/8 inch pills.

you can not adjust the size of the cut. But for cutting a pill in half it is the best.
