Is it ok to break open a supplement capsule..?!


Question: Is it ok to break open a supplement capsule and drink the liquid thats inside instead of swallowing down the capsule. Will you get the same nutritional affect if you only drink the liquid.

While I traveled somewhere else to another country 2 years ago. My cousin that came with me took these capsules, but the outside layer was gelatin so she couldn't eat it.So she just opened it and dropped the powder inside in a glass of water and mixed it up and drank it. So yeah I think it gives the same affect if you eat it without breaking the capsule. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

I doubt it, drugs are presented in the form which will work the best for that drug. Supplements too. They figure how thick a capsule will need to be for it to dissolve and allow the drug to be absorbed in the right area of your body. That's why some drugs come with the directions to drink at least 6 oz of water, or to take before or after a meal. When you break the capsule your defeating it's purpose, there are lots of tablets which also say do not break or chew. Happy New Year
