if you're having trouble affording your vitamins
I have Calcium Citrate + Vit D tablets that I was going to take, but they're horse pills and surely won't dissolve in my pouch, so I was wondering if I could crush them.
If so, I could halve the amount of chewy bites I have to take.

Yeah, you can crush them if you want. But they WILL dissolve if you swallow them.

Even if vitamins don't stay in your pouch that long, they get absorbed in the small intestine for the most part, not the pouch. So it doesn't really matter how long they stay in the pouch.

However, I agree - they are HUGE! I hate swallowing them! But I'm in a routine so I'm getting used to it. Just annoying that I have to take two of them, and they're quite a bit larger than my multi!

I love the chews and the lozenges (cinnamon). I usually have one chew & one or two lozenges, plus two pills - spread throughout the day.
Going to look into the sale though - that sounds like a good deal!
