Crush em up, put em in water then drink the water,

Agreed, or get the liquid vitamin form. Personally, I don't swallow vitamins. I take my kids' Flinstone's or Gummy vites so I don't have to swallow pills.

Another add-on question. Why is it that they keep on producing the "horse pill" vitamins, etc instead of splitting the dosage into 2 smaller pills?

You can get accustomed to anything. I take pills, No water, No nothing. Mind over matter. Just take them down first thing, Don`t let them stay on your tongue and start dissolving. Do it like a shot of Tequila.

Agreed that it's in your head. I still to this day can't take pills without a drink....and even then it's a pretty big gulp to trick my mind into thinking I'm really thirsty as opposed to smuggling a foreign object down my throat.

Animal instinct. Your body knows what's food and what isn't. We have a natural hesitancy to swallowing pills because they are foreign. Great question!!!

and a great answer instead of saying I dunno...LOL

Dont you lose some potency if you dissolve the pill? I've always heard that, anyway. May be just an old wives tale.

Old wives tale.

In fact, if you have a bad sore throat, chew the aspirin and it starts working REALLY fast.
