Re: how long do the capsules take to dissolve?

[Guest guest]

so what about a child who cannot swallow the capsules?

Can the contents be mixed with food and the outer

capsule thrown out? My son's meds have to be crushed

so I was wondering, especially since I just ordered

the Peptizide and Zyme prime.

The capsules can take up to 30 minutes to dissolve. You may empty

the contents into the first few bites of food or into some liquid to

drink. I will repost the mixing file for some ideas.
