What's another way to take vitamin pills without choking on them?
For a long time I have been feeling very drained of energy and a few people suggested that I start taking daily multi vitamins. I got some of the Centrum Mens Ultra whatever it's called vitamins but the pills are so big that even with a big gulp of water I feel them stick in my throat and it makes me gag and choke. Breaking them in half just gives them very sharp edges that have the same effect. Any suggestions?

I hate centrum they pills for a horse
get a pill crusher and mix it in with some milk and gulp it
but if you need energy i suggest taking a vitamin b complex they are great i just took it for my health and realized fast they give you a burst of energy ( its what makes 5 hour energy (the energy shot) the boost) there are many brands but i take Nature Made b-50 complex or b-100 but for energy I would take the b-100 because it has double the nutrients you can have another brand though

vitamins are still vitamins even if you break them up into a powder. just break them down or chew them or whatever. you don’t have to swallow them in chunks man.

I am an old man, and I have been taking multivitamins and nutritional supplements for 20 years. I have a high gag-reflex, and I , like you, dislike the size of some supplements I congest each day. I always try to buy capsules as they move out of my throat quicker than large, compressed pills. Some of the larger pills I coat with Jello, chocolate syrup and yogurt. They sure move faster than no coating, and they leave a sweet taste in your mouth after swallowed.
