Those Onesource Multivitamin pills are really hard for me to swallow. I can drink a whole bottle of a beverage and it still won't go down.

If you eat a balanced diet you actually don't need a multivitamin supplement. Those vitamins are really choking. You can split it into half.

I compared the One-A-Day vitamins for adults to some children's chewables and found that they had almost the exact same amounts of each vitamin. I'd recommend finding some chewables or gummies that you like and taking a supplement for whatever is in the Onesource vitamin that isn't in the chewable.

I like to eat lots of fruits and veggies and whole grains to get my vitamins now. But after I had my son a few years ago I started taking centrum chewables. They tasted like orange or something like it, but they were easier than swallowing those huge vitamin pills. (They weren't childrens viatamins either.) I haven't taken vitamins for a while now, so I don't know if they are still available. It's worth a look.

If you still want to take this brand, crush it up (baggie with a mallet) and stir it into applesauce, yogurt or pudding, then eat that.
OR find the liquid or chewable vitamins. Heath food or vitamin stores will carry a large variety. I also take a couple of children's chewable for calcium since I have a problem absorbing tablets.

Purchase liquid vitamins. I get mine a Walgreens. It's the Walgreens brand and has everything the higher priced vitamins (liquid or pills) have. A lot cheaper though.

Have you tried to cut the pill in half? Then take it as if it were two seperate pills. Or you could crush it and mix it with liquid. But that would taste horrible so i would try the first option.

I am a medication technician in a nursing home...we crush pills and mix the powder in pudding or applesauce for the elderly who have difficulty swallowing.
