> I've got Nature Made. They're enteric coated. Unfortunately, I have to chop them up because 200 mg is too much. At the moment, I can only deal with 50 or 100 mg. My pdoc and I discussed it briefly and she thought that it would be okay to lose the enteric coating if I can't do the larger dose. From the broken edges, it is awfully bitter - no surprise there. I coat it with butter to make it swallowable.Do you feel an effect, from the broken tablets? Usually, enteric coating is to get something past the stomach and its acid. Hydrochloric acid can degrade/digest things you don't want to degrade.
> Okay, so from looking at the MSDS, I won't inhale the acid form. ;) And yes, I guess it would be a bit like comparing the MSDS for NaCl and HCl. But it would be interesting to know what the fate of the tosylate is as it goes through the body.That's really my main concern. Toluene messes up a lot of different things.
> Well, my body is just plain ridiculous about it. I need hamster-size doses. It makes the usual dosage guessing games even harder. OTOH, a sample pack of most things goes a long way....
