For folks who have difficulty swallowing large pills, can these be opened and added to smoothies/water?

Yes they can be opened but I didn't add the contents to anything so can't vouch for that. Think it wouldn't mix with water as it is an oil. Might be great in a blended smoothie!

I see no reason why adding the capsule content to a healthy fruit smoothie would be a problem. I have also actually opened the capsules and applied the powder mixed with coconut oil to wounds, which did seem to help with healing.

I think that they are all big. I never have issues swallowing pills. But I had to space these out. They are big.

They are a little smaller than the standard capsules. I have not had a problem swallowing them as i do with some of the other pills.

Neither - these are gel caps - so harder than a gel cap - but no problem for me to swallow. I am not sure that I have opened one, but believe the inside is powder (that could potentially be added to a smoothie).

The tablets are rather large. I would imagine you could cut them down, though there is no slit in the middle to help you. I have no problem swallowing them whole. But, if you struggle with large pills, you may have a hard time with these whole. They are fantastic vitamins though, and I researched them pretty thoroughly. Just for the sake of honestly answering you. I tried, it wasn't too difficult to cut in half with a chef's knife.

They are decent size, if you can't swallow large pills i am not sure theses are right for you.

These are relatively large capsules. Could be trouble for someone with difficulty swallowing. I take with a full glass of water.

No Not to large and not hard to swallow, although it depends on the individual, one of my workmates cannot swallow a pill or capsul no matter the size, if you have had difficulty with others likely you will with these.

I find that lots of people have problems with large capsules, best way is to make sure you swallow it long ways on with plenty of water, you will be OK then.

I also have problems with swallowing, but I have no problem with these. They are a narrow cellulose capsule about 3/4 of an inch long. If swallowing is a problem the capsules can be pulled apart and the ingredients mixed with food or a liquid. I highly recommend these.

Hello, my wife has the same problem - she claims not to be able to swallow big capsules, tablets, but with the Digest Spectrum she is OK, especially it really works with Digesting. These caps are slightly smaller than the big ones, like 1000mg vitamin C for example. Just a note: if you think - one doesn't have a problem to swallow food - it is times larger than any pill, so it is all in one's mind, not some restrictions, try to do it with a bite of an apple, or a piece of bread.Hope this helped.Good luck, Mark.

I take it that you have an issue with swallowing. The pill is 7/8 of an inch long and 1/4 of an inch wide, I hope that you find this helpful, also the pills have a coating, so that they don't dissolve immed., when you put them into your mouth.

If you have an issue with swallowing them, they do chew easily. Although the flavor has a shellfish quality to them. I'm not someone who can swallow medium to large pills, and I wound up chewing them.

Do you open them up and put on your food? Since you have a hard time swallowing pills you should open them and dissolve it in water. I never did that but you can try it. If anything you should take it 30-60 minutes before eating. Serve yourself more than usual and eat it all even if you feel full.

Well, I bought mine to break up a large, bad tasting pill, so I have not tried to fill these with any type of ingredients. If it was a fine powder, couldn't you just put it in a bowl, dip the larger portion of the capsule I to it, then attach the other part of the capsule?

Yes. They are about 3/4" long 1/4" wide and almost 1/4" thick. If you have trouble taking large pills, you would have trouble with these.

They are very hard. I have never tried. It might be easier to partially let them dissolve. But if you had a pill cutter it would probably work
