Re: those darn floating pills!!
I liked them as a small 'toddy', morning and evening, Tinabanana.
It took a bit of effort to completely empty two caps into, say, half a cup of hot/warm water each time. A dry toothpick would help.
I'd knock that back and follow with a couple of cups of hot water, sipped, as tea. No doubt a squirt of lemon juice in the water, sometimes, would do good.
You'd have to like the taste of the herbs, of course. I did.
But I made the 'toddies' because a single capsule, swallowed whole, caused me psychedelic dreams. I was glad to do without the caps themselves.
The spoonful of applesauce sounds like a good idea.
Enjoy!
