Just received supplements from Puritan.com

Thank you, Andy, and Pratik!  If the tablets are too big, I won't hesitate to cut them in half. I actually got an Exjade tablet stuck in my throat last night. I thought it had completely dissolved, but apparently it had not... A little scary!  My throat might be a bit small too! 
Thanks so much for your help! You are the best!

It is OK to crush Exjade tablets, as is done when mixing with food. I have no idea why the instructions say not to crush the tabs. You can't change the molecular structure by crushing, so there is nothing that can change about Exjade by crushing it.

Suelou,

What I do is I dissolve Exjade for an hour or so and let it sit at bottom. So after an hour when I stir it, it is completely and nicely dissolved. Drinking after 5 minutes or so after dissolving may leave a part of the tablet undissolved.

Hope that helps.

This is the most weired thing in the world Pratik.

Andy - I had read a post you had written about crushing Exjade quite a long time ago, so your words were exactly what I was thinking about as the tablet sat in my throat. I have the Exjade blender, so I have currently started breaking them up before dropping them in the juice. Great tip, and thank you sooo much!!!
And very important - CONGRATULATIONS on your daughter's wedding! How exciting! - Suelou

Pratik - Great idea! I am currently using the Exjade blender, which just mixes it for me - But, the next time my batteries die or I don't have the blender available to me, I will be sure to try your approach! You're awesome!!! Thank you so much!  Suelou

It is the opinion of many doctors to finish the Exjade within 3 minutes after dissolving.

Oh.

Andy, what you have to say about this?

Once Exjade is mixed, it should be taken ASAP.

Thanks Andy and Dharmesh!
