|
Why, why, why?
And why can't they make a vitamin gel capsule?

4. Its to make you feel like its good for you. |
|
And it helps you remember if you've taken them or not. Why do I have to take 6 pills all of one kind at night? Why do they cost so much? These questions are better left unasked.

7. Nature's Life is a brand that makes soft gel capsules |
|
there a few different types.
Multivitamins should be taken with a meal. That can cut down on the nasty taste aspect.

9. There is a chewable multiple vitamin made by Centrum |
|
It is not too bad.
I can't take the regular horsepills either. One became stuck in my throat once and scared me half to death. Later, I would tense up whenever I tried to take one, making things worse.

11. well, I wonder about crushing them |
|
Some pills aren't supposed to be crushed. But I can't see why vitamins would be in that category.

12. Misdirected delivery. |
|
Most vitamin/supplement folks thrive on the belief that the average person can't follow basic directions.

13. I found some liquid vitamins that were "chocolate" flavored, but |
|
they were vile-tasting to me and you had to swallow a rather large volume. They were at a vitamin store. You can ask if you have any interest at all.
