In general, all our capsules can also be opened and added to cold food or drinks. We do not recommend warm or hot drinks in order to protect the active ingredient optimally.
Exceptions to this are our Microbiome Flora and Bromelain capsules. The capsule contents are sensitive to stomach acid and should only be released in the intestine. This is why these products are protected from gastric acid by enteric-coated capsules, so that they can develop their effect in the intestine undamaged. To ensure that the active ingredients reach where they are needed, it is therefore advisable not to open the capsules.
Alternatively, there is another trick to make it easier to swallow the capsules:
As capsules are lighter than water, they float on top. So place the capsule on your tongue and then take a medium-sized sip of still water in your mouth - don't swallow yet! Then move your chin towards your chest to make it easier for you to swallow the capsule, as it is resting on top of the water and can easily enter your oesophagus. Perhaps you would like to try it out :)
You can also try putting the liquid in your mouth first and then pushing the capsule through your closed lips, so that the tongue detects the solid object less well - this avoids the need to chew first and makes it easier to swallow.
