Struggling to Swallow Capsules? Try This

Difficulty swallowing capsules is more common than people expect, and it's rarely a reason to skip a dose entirely — there are a few workarounds worth trying first.

Essential Nutrients (EN) capsules can be opened and mixed directly into your shake, which solves the swallowing issue for that part of your protocol without losing any of the nutrition. Calorie Burner Cell Protector (CC) capsules are a different story — they're very bitter, so they're not good candidates for opening and mixing. Those are better managed with technique instead.

Taking capsules with something thicker than plain water — part of a shake, or a thicker beverage — helps many people get them down more easily than with water alone. A head-tilt swallowing technique or a pill-lubricating product are two other commonly used strategies if the issue persists.

If capsules remain a real obstacle even with these adjustments, some bundle configurations involve fewer total capsules, which is worth asking about rather than defaulting to skipping doses. There's usually a workaround — ask before you skip.
