Multivitamins

This might be a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway...

if I crush up a multivitamin and put it in a smoothie, is it as effective as if I swallowed it?

Yuck! Why would you want to do that?

Maybe she has trouble swallowing pills.

Yes, it should be just fine. If anything, it would be more effective because it's best to take them with food.

I do have trouble swallowing large pills. I took one look at that multivitamin pill and knew I wouldn't be able to do it. I've crushed them up and put them in smoothies a few times (the taste isn't any different ), but I guess I just wasn't sure if the benefit would be the same.

Thanks for the response!

I understand the difficulty swallowing pills. My wife really struggles with that. We found a liquid vitamin that's not too bad tasting. You may want to try it. They have a regular multi and one for woman.

there are some medications that state to not crush - so you might want to check with the vitamin company itself to see if youo should be able to do this...
