According to the manufacturer's information, the capsules must not be chewed, they should be swallowed whole, washed down with the right amount of liquid. 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 opening the capsules and swallowing only their contents, we lead to a situation where part of the active substance is deposited for some time in the throat and esophagus. It is also treated with 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.
