Q: can i snip open coq10 softgels and drink the liquid from inside the softgel? i am terrible at swallowing any pills, and prefer to cut them open if safe?

: Although the pills were meant to be swallowed whole, there would be no harm to swallowing the liquid inside. The absorption may be different but it wouldn’t cause harm-it just may not be absorbed the same way. Good luck to you!
