Capsules are designed to be ingested whole, so we recommend leaving them unopened to achieve maximum absorption of the active ingredient(s) they contain.
We do offer some preparations in liquid form, including vitamin B12, vitamin D, liposomal vitamin C, trace minerals and MikroVeda®. In exceptional cases, powder capsules can be opened to stir the active ingredient(s) into water or herbal tea. Drinks containing caffeine and sugar, such as coffee, black tea, soda and fruit juice, are unsuitable liquids to use with this method, unless we or your health care practitioner explicitly recommend using e.g. fruit juice.
Note: Flora Essentials, Lactobacillus reuteri and Saccharomyces boulardii capsules should never be opened, as these contain sensitive bacterial and yeast strains. In addition, in the case of iron supplements, tooth discolouration can occur if consumed without the protective capsule.
