Supplements

[Kimmers]

Can anyone tell me if it is okay to crush any of the supplements and give them in something like applesauce or sprinkled and blended into a protein shake? I finally got my son stabilized again
( YEAH! ;D ) and he is doing GREAT, but lately he has been gagging on some of the pills. Currently he is taking a multi., magnesium and a combined antioxidant pill that could all be crushed but I want to make sure the potency won't be altered. Unfortunately the rest are all gelcaps and there isn't much you can do about those!

He says he knows they are working but he hates choking all the time and I don't blame him for that, so before he gets too discouraged and refuses to take them again, I would like to do something!

Thanks!

I don't see why you couldn't crush the tablets up. Might even speed up absorption. There are some pretty good liquid formulas you could try, too, if you get tired of smashing things. As long as you're getting the vitamins in his body, that's the most important thing.

Thanks, I will give it a try!

That was kind of my thinking too-if I can get them in him that is half the battle!
