This isn't exactly osteoporosis related - but I've seen people post about difficulty taking capsules or large tablets. Try this: roll your capsules and pills around in some olive oil before you take them - and they will slide down your throat so easily. It's almost like magic. I just swallowed a gigantic calcium pill at midnight and it almost swallowed its own self! It just went down - that is always a nightmare for me to get down. Try it.

Hi,
Great idea as olive oil activates the salivary glands and is supposed to help dry mouth also.

I hate swallowing large capsules and remember vividly times they haven't went down right away and feel "stuck" in my throat! Thanks for tip, I will definitely try this.

Thank you for the olive oil tip. I take two potassium citrate pills for kidney stones and they are fairly large and uncoated. Although I usually just got them down with my other 16 pills I’m going to try your suggestion.
Thanks again.
