Good morning, I have a question, I have just bought two jars of supplements, one to reduce appetite and the other to burn fat at night, I wanted to ask because the capsules are quite large, before I can swallow them, they all dissolve, and they are such that they are easy to open, can I pour out the powder and wash it down with water?

If you are not able to swallow the capsules whole, then yes - you can pour out the contents. However, make sure you don't lose the contents of the capsule and take the entire dose.
However, some specialists are of the opinion that such a preparation may not be absorbed as it should. The capsule is designed to reach the stomach and sometimes further to the intestines and there release the substance that is to be absorbed. By pouring out the contents of the capsule, we lead to a situation where some of the active substance settles in the throat and esophagus for some time. It is also exposed to hydrochloric acid from the stomach and digestive enzymes for longer. It follows that such a procedure may affect the absorption and effective action of the preparation.
We should also remember to drink the medications we are taking. Warm drinks may dissolve some of the tablet already in your mouth or change the rate at which it dissolves. It's the same with fruit juices. Fruits can cause side effects.
We also encourage you to familiarize yourself with materials on similar topics:
