Can I cut my multivitamin in half?

Answer: It’s often okay to break or open a vitamin or other supplement, either by splitting or crushing a tablet or twisting open a capsule. Regardless of whether you cut, twist, squeeze, or crush a pill, be aware that you are exposing the contents to more oxygen, which can cause oxidation and accelerate decomposition.

The only products of exception are those that are timed-release or enteric coated.

Can you crush Tylenol and put on tooth?

Can a child take too much vitamin C?

Can my child get too much vitamin C? Vitamin C is water soluble, so any excess is flushed from the body in your child’s urine. However, megadoses can still cause nausea, diarrhea, kidney stones, and gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining). Children ages 1 to 3 should not get more than 400 mg of vitamin C a day.
