Looks like it comes in tablets, coated tablets, gummies and some products in powder. What are you taking?
I think that the capsules could have powder...or...time release little mini pills...and that powder would work fine, but time release, maybe not.
The tablets are mostly coated and could be making it all the way through and out intact. I have a pill like that and it's not available in any other formulation. I use a pill cutter and SCORE the tablets, to give them a head start on getting dissolved in my stomach, which might not have enough acid to do the job without help.
I think'd try scoring the pills...if that's what you take, before doubling the cost...
Good luck.
