Can the pills be crushed because I have trouble swallowing large pills?

I imagine you can. Place in a small plastic bag or something that won't fly all over and try not to crush too small. Then put in a spoon. I wouldn't put in a liquid as the pieces might get stuck on the bottom.

According to all available information, I see no problem crushing the pills for ingestion.

Yes. I have a pill slicer/crusher that I bought at a health food store, and have been able to crush these.

Its a good sized pill, I'd say if you have trouble swallowing pills at all you better look for another product.

I wouldn't chew them, but that's just me. My suggestion would be to get a pill splitter and split them. I bought a good one from Amazon and use it to split vitamins and my diabetic med pills which are large. Maybe this would work for you!

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.

They are large, but I include them with other capsules/pills and swallow at the same time without a problem. It really depends on the person.

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.

They're pretty big, so some people might have trouble swallowing them. I don't usually have a problem with that, but these have given me a little trouble. But worth the trouble!

No they are not large at all. I have had problems with swallowing pills since I was a child and these are not a problem. Hope that helps:)

Many, if not all pills are crush-able, and so are these. If you have the time, and willing to use a pistal and mortar, you can crush these pills and spread the powder on food or in a smoothie.

No, not any easier than other large pills. However, it is not round but tubular in dimensions which does it easier than a round pill. We do not have any issues with this put if you have special problems in swallowing you might consider them.

I mean they are rather larger. The coating is very slick, making it easy to swallow. I usually just pop 2 in my mouth and just swallow them but for people who have a hard time swallowing pills....well they may not be good

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.

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 a large capsules. I don't have any problems with them. However, if you have trouble swallowing, that may be a problem.

Hi Kelly, yes they can be crushed or opened if you like. I would do that each time you want to take them and not the whole bottle at one time though. That will keep the probiotics fresh and help them to live longer.
