Regardless of what type of ingredient, if you can't swallow pills, you can break/crush/open any tablet, capsule, or softgel that is not enteric coated, time-release, or other "special release".... you just might not get as much of a benefit in any form other than how they were intended.
The way I normally put it when people ask me this is that it's better to take a pill as it was intended, but if you can't swallow the pill, crushing it is better than not taking it.
Also, as far as the Biotin, it is good for hair, skin, and nail health regardless of how it's taken.... but most of the B vitamins taste rather bad when they aren't in a capsule (and Iron is the same way), so you'll probably want to take it with something to mask the taste. Good luck!
I can't swallow pills so I got a chewable multivitamin and I take msm powdered form for hair growth
ummm if you do crush them i would recommend eating them with yogurt or something. the pills are made to dissolve in a certain time frame, but if you have something thick with it, it should help the process.
call your pharmacist before you crush the pills.
both yes
i take biotin and i chew them up. biotin doesn't taste bad like some of the other B vitamins. it has a neutral taste , it doesn't really taste like anything.
i don't know about iron pills.
