Good morning,
I'm worried there's no good way to title this, I apologize if it's misleading.
Problems:
1 - women in the household cannot swallow "large" pills.
2 - They won't deal with a few moments' discomfort, E.G., tossing liquid extract in fruit juice and swallowing that.
Per #1, anything larger than about 3 mm across (Bayer Aspirin tablet) is "too big" to swallow. We've had to go to gummi vitamins. (One is 52 going on 2, the other is 22 going on 1.)
Per #2, liquid extracts are essentially out. I can use PM under the tongue; I can handle black cohosh in my mouth; I've allowed Spiritone to dissolve in the mouth for sublingual dosing (That was horrible, but I managed it once, to see how bad it was/if there was a benefit.) They won't eat or drink anything that doesn't tickle their taste buds.
SO, looking for solution:
Is there a small pill version of PM extracts? Like, a Vitamin D3 size, about 3 mm across, softgel design?
Barlowe's PM pills (powder) is out, we now have two bottles sitting at home.
Ainterol liquid, bad taste.
Mother's Milk tea, bad taste.
Spearmint tea, resounding NO. (Taste)
Does anyone have suggestions? (Or is it just time to GTFO on my part?)
