Re: Also have a question about switching to gel caps

[Guest guest]

if you put a vege cap in glass of water you can see how it will seal

over the enzymes. what actually happens in the stomach is hard to

tell becuase there is a lot of movement in it.

put a vegecap inside a gel cap is sorta defeating the purpose i think.

sprinkling on food seems to be what is done by most parents, but i am

still feeling thate gel caps would be the best solution.

you may find zyme prime is also necessary.
