Can I open the capsules, break the tablets up, or pierce the softgels?
In general, this should not cause any concern. However, it usually results in a faster release of the active substances contained in the capsule, which can lead to a greater risk of side effects, as well as a decrease in the absorption of molecules by the body.
In some cases, it is not recommended at all:
- When the capsule is “gastro-resistant”. The capsule’s covering protects the molecules from stomach acid; opening it leads to its degradation and reduces its effectiveness.
- When the capsule or tablet is “delayed release” or “extended release”. As these were designed to release their content progressively, the degradation of the covering leads to a release of active substances at inadequate doses.
You cannot open a softgel (oily capsule) as it is made of only one piece, but you can pierce it and pour the contents into a drink or food. However, we cannot guarantee a pleasant taste! The absorption of the active ingredients may also be reduced.
In any case, these practices expose the active ingredients to light, moisture, and oxygen, which accelerates oxidation and decomposition.
This information only relates to our dietary supplements; it is strongly discouraged to open medication without the advice of your doctor.

Supersmart is a reliable company
Supersmart is a reliable company. I know my product will arrive, and I am always charged exactly as ordered. Supersmart carries high-quality supplements. My last package, the Mastic Gum package is badly deformed from the shipment, but I checked inside and the content is preserved in tact.
