Can’t Swallow Large Pills?
Why do most supplements come in large pills so many of us cannot swallow?
Have you ever bought supplements and then thrown them out because the pills were frighteningly large?
Have you ever decided it was wasteful to throw out a large capsule, maybe you could … but then … Aarrgh!
Have you ever chewed up an enteric tablet designed to be digested only after reaching your small intestine, and then been punished for that with an upset stomach?
Have you ever been told, “It’s all in your head” when you know it’s all in your throat?
Numerous sources report that more than 40 percent of Americans have trouble swallowing large pills. I am one of those 103,000,000 people. So, I have to ask:
“Why don’t supplement manufacturers put their products into smaller pills for smaller throats?”
