Re: Supp. tastes for non-pill swallower

[Guest guest]

I used the gizmo from www.capsuline.com to make really small pills. It

made teaching him to take pills pretty easy. I think the smallest they

go is a size 4 capsule, which is pretty small. I dipped each capsule in

honey and got him to take that way.

We had no problem mixing taurine in juice.

Zinc does have some icky taste, but that may only be if you actually

need it. I have read that need for zinc will influence its flavor.

I did manage to get folic in my kid's juice, too, but that hasn't worked for

Folapro, which we are now using.

As to the E, we are using a capsule form now, which was fine in juice.

I don't give it to him that way now, but used to.

I have not tasted all of these, but I have info on some of them.

If you can taste it, then usually you don't need it any more.

I did not have any problems with taste for this one.
