Can I crush my tablets or open my capsules to dissolve them in water or food?
Opening or crushing a capsule or soft capsule is generally not recommended.
The galenic form has been designed to allow the release of active ingredients at the right time and in the right place in the body. Modifying it could therefore reduce its bioavailability.
However, for people who have difficulty swallowing capsules, this remains possible. There is an exception for soft capsules where the content is a liquid and for Probiotics where the capsule is essential to protect the bacteria until they reach the intestines.
As for tablets (such as Vitamin C or B Complex), modifying them will not alter their quality and/or effect. You can therefore do so without any problem.
