Best way to take supplements?

Quick question... I'm using these capsules that take forever to kick in—like, almost 2 hours later—and they sometimes mess with my stomach too. I was wondering if I could just pop the capsules open and dissolve the powder under my tongue instead? I do that with some of my other meds and it works way better than swallowing them, but I'm not sure about these specific ones...

Only looking for advice from people who actually know their stuff here. Thanks!

I was wondering if I could just pop the capsules open and let the powder dissolve under my tongue instead? I already do this with some of my other tablets, and it actually works way better than swallowing them, but now I'm sitting here with these specific capsules...

Don't do it.

There are plenty of reasons why big pharma bothers putting medication inside those fancy little capsules in the first place.
If you decide to dump the contents out, you're usually looking at one of two problems:
-your stomach acid might just destroy the active ingredients entirely
-the medication itself could end up irritating your stomach lining
-or, you get hit with both at once.
