Can I break ICAPS® tablets to alter the dosage or make it easier to swallow?
ICAPS® Plus tablets do not have the time-release feature available in other ICAPS® products. Therefore, breaking these tablets does not impact the effectiveness of these tablets. However, other time-release formulations should not be broken.
Why is there no longer cotton in the ICAPS® bottle?
The cotton has been removed from all ICAPS® bottles because the ICAPS® vitamins are triple coated so the bottle does not require cotton. The bottle neck has also been shortened, thus reducing the risk of tablets moving around and breaking.
