Is it ok that I split my vitamins in half?

I have a problem with swallowing huge pills, so I have to cut mine in half before I can swallow. I take One A Day teen advantage and it doesn't say anywhere that it's timed release. Am I still absorbing all the vitamins?Is it ok that I split my vitamins in half?
it doesn't matter. you're still taking the same amount.Is it ok that I split my vitamins in half?
Absorbtion is nowhere near complete with a full multivitamin. Cutting them in half will not change that. But eating a vitamin just after a meal will improve absorbtion a bit. Raw vegetables will give the best absorbtion. Microwaved vegetables will give you the second best. Beyond that, cooking vegetables until they are soft will rob them of most of their nutritional value, but you still might get slightly more vitamins and minerals from that than from the minimal absortion aquired thru multivitamins.
As long as it's not an analgesic (gel on the inside) it should be fine. Just so you know though, unless prescribed by a doctor, vitamins are not necessary, and can sometimes do more harm than good (in addition to being disgusting to swallow!)


Assuming you have a normal diet, you will get all the vitamins you need from your food. Taking too many vitamins can have highly negative effects.
If they're solid pills there should be zero problem with splitting them. Ones you shouldn't split would be gel pills and capsules.





Something you should look out for though, there's been some studies recently saying that a daily multivitamin is only about 10% absorbed by your system.





To get the nutrients you need, your best bet is to eat the foods that have them. (much cheaper as well)
Yeaah, sure!


I do it all the time, big vitamins are so annoying! ):


But you shouldn't cut the ones with liquids or stuff inside them.
Make sure you take both halves. You can even crush them and put it in a teaspoon with some water and then swallow.
Yeah.... it's all getting dissolved anyway.
if it is a solid CAPLET, yes, if it is a capsule, no
yes, those meds are fine to split
no, it's like cutting off one of your legs
Yes, perfectly fine
Yeah, shouldn't cause a problem...
Yeah its ok but than you'll be a puuuuussssy
perfectly fine i do that sometimes
It shouldn't be time relaesed. That is a harmless vitamin. You are fine.
Sure.
it won't matter just take both halves together
yes it doesnt do anythin
yup.
yes its fine
yea i think its okay
