Starting my Vitamins...

OK this one is a toughie for me.  I thought I was being smart and bought my two bottles for one price of the CVS version of Centrim and some Calcium Citrate...couldn't get the D3 because all they had was the squishy capsule form...so I will have to find another source for that..Any way what is tough is I bought these in the caplet/pill form and bought myself a crusher...well the crusher works awesome...but how to swallow the powder...so far I have gagged on water, watered down unsweetened fruit juices...so I think my next try will be unsweetened applesauce...but I think I should try the applesauce first to make sure that works...I have already had LF cottage cheese pulverized by my Magic Bullet and that seems to go down just fine...

So any suggestions to mix my powder multi and then later my powder calcium in would be appreciated.  Thanks all

I use the chewable generic centrum from CVS and I just swallow the calcuim although I do also use chewable calcuim.  We give clients pills in applesauce.  That may work.  I was swallowing pills from the beginning of other things too.  My dr said that was fine as long as it didn't bother you.

Oh Yuck...I just tried the multi in applesauce...it was plain nasty and I can't get past it.  I will be going back to CVS to get chewables....I hope...if they don't have them, then I will order them.

I am scared to try swallowing pills.  I never had problems with pills before...even the big horse pill multi I used to take...I think I will hold off for a month before trying to swallow pills.

I just cut horse pills in half, never crushed. You can dissolve your calcium citrate in a little water and ,mix it with your protein shake--it has no nasty flavor like a multi. You might check Vitamin Shoppe if you don't want to order from Vitalady for your dry D3. My son gets dry D3 from Vitamin Shoppe and they carry 5,000 IUs in small dry tablets.

I order everything from Vitalady and do my best to get everything in capsules. It's more like taking your pills crushed without the taste.
