Many Solgar capsules and tablets are indeed large, which can make them difficult to swallow — especially for older adults or children.
What you can do:
Capsules (gelcaps): These can often be opened, and the powder inside mixed with a spoonful of water, juice, or purée — as long as the taste isn’t too strong.
Tablets: If they are not film-coated or labeled as extended-release, they may be gently broken in half or crushed.
Some products are also available in chewable or liquid forms, which are ideal for those who struggle with swallowing pills.
📌 Always check the packaging: if it says “do not chew or break,” then the tablet should not be divided.
