I have trouble swallowing pills. Is it OK to grind these up and mix them with yogurt?

There are two things that you can do: 1-Cut the pill in half and take a half pill at a time (this is what my husband does with pills because he has the same problem) or try grinding them and put them in yogurt. I found for me that I am taking them at night time so that I do not get the night sweats. You have to play with the amount that you take from taking 1 to 3 (for myself and it works) a day. Nobody tells you that but my nutritionist informed me of that.

The pills are probably comparable to most glucosamine-chondroitin and calcium supplement pills.Sounds as if you'd probably have some problems with it. Maybe you could open the capsulesand stir the contents into a glass of water?

From what I read, yes it is ok. I took these for a while and actually lost 14 lbs (well they helped me, cant give 100% credit to them). What I would do is let them sit under my tongue for a full minute and then swallow the rest.

I have put yogurt in my smoothie many times but never tried it by itself but I am sure it would be fine. Joint Vibrance has an orange juice taste to it so keep that in mind.

They are large and difficult for me to swallow. I might try cutting them up as someone suggested.

They are fairly large but not giant sized. They are capsules. Personally I take any pill with a bite of something smooth like yogurt or ice cream.

There is no problem swallowing these .. At least I do not have a problem, and I keep ordering them .. Perhaps you can consider drinking water while taking them .. Good luck :)

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

I add them to my oatmeal and/or yogurt, it's delicious, I tried to use some in my coffee today to see if it dissolves, no more was left. It's a kind of sugar, so it should dissolve in water or lemonade. You may want to mix it with a little warm/hot water to dissolve and then add to your lemonade or water. Hope this helps!

You could chew them if you had to. They are in the form of a solid pill, but it would be possible to chew them up. Probably wouldn't taste great.

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.

I disagree. Since taking them, I've become completely regular and stress free with bowel movements. When I stop taking them, I'm less regular and have more trouble "with the go". I started taking them when I had a yeast infection and my doctor highly recommended one pill. Best advice I could have gotten.. I havent had a yeast infection in years. But at least with me, they help with "the go" process for sure. Its possible it may not assist in this area with everyone, but different things affect different people in different ways. There is NO wrong answer here :) And it sure beats "yogurt" going bad in the fridge! I disagree. Since taking them, I've become completely regular and stress free with bowel movements.

Capsules are NOT big. Yes, I have opened them and put them in yogurt BUT am always hesitant to take any pill w/juice OR yogurt cultures given a possible interaction; these capsules go down real easy with water.

I was told I could swallow them when my kinesiologist recommended them for adrenal fatigue. I know a lot of people say to chew them, but they taste really bad. I think you can do either.

The pills don't have a taste. I just swallow them with water. The pill form is very convenient.

I just mix them with yogurt or oatmeal or add them to anything that mixes well. I have never made them into a gel. I have been doing this for a long time and I know I am reaping the benefits as they help keep me regular and they give me energy.
