Can I Open the Capsules and Take With Food or Water?

Yes, the majority of our capsules can be opened and their contents mixed with food or a drink, if that makes consumption easier for you. This method won't compromise the effectiveness of the supplement.

However, there are a couple of exceptions to note. Our Digestive Enzymes should not be opened, as they are designed to activate in the stomach, not the mouth.

Similarly, our Magnesium Taurate is intended to be swallowed whole, but if you struggle with this, you can mix it into water, followed by another glass of water.

As for our Probiotics, they should not be mixed with hot drinks as the heat can kill the beneficial bacteria. A cool or room temperature beverage would be more suitable.

Please be aware that some supplements may have a robust flavour when consumed this way. If you find the taste disagreeable, you might find it more palatable to swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water.
