lsereno 2,525 Posted June 29, 2013 I took all of mine whole with a very small sip of Water, one at a time at the hospital and when I got home. Only thing I waited two weeks to start again was the Calcium. Lynda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kami63 215 Posted June 29, 2013 I crush mine per my instructions. I put the in the chocolate Protein Shake. It seems to mask the taste the best. I tried swallowing one small pill whole and it hurt so I will crush mine until I see the doc for my two week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
