Hey guys. I have a hell of a time swallowing pills (i can’t) and was wondering if the nasty tasting tribex pill powder will react badly with food or beverages? Any ideas?
Naa, you should be ok mate. I take Tribex 500 and “M” with a protien shake in the mornings, so i take it the shake class`s as food. I have no problems with it. Maybe the occasionally hurbey tasting burp, but apart from that nothing. so you sould be ok. Paul Govier
Quit being a fuckin’ pussy and swallo those pills!
Paul, Tribex is supposed to be taken on an empty stomach. Wouldn’t taking it with protein negate this? I’m wondering, because I have trouble taking it, since my stomach is never really empty. NYcMan
Hey Rob,
I couldn’t swallow pills for 20 years. I always thought my throat was too small, but
it was actually the way i was swallowing was wrong. The key is applesauce. Spoon up some applesauce, and put the pill in the middle of the applesauce. Swallow/slurp in the applesauce. The pill should go down with it. Do this for a couple of weeks, then by then you should be able to swallow pills with just water.
Dude, I felt compelled to answer this. I was in your shoes about 3 months ago. Couldn’t even swallow a damn little mint for the life of me. It wasn’t until I bought my first bottle of Tribex that I forced myself to learn. Basically, I’d start small. I bought like 10 packs of Tic-Tacs and practiced on those. Basically all you have to do is just relax: take a deep breath and exhale. Keep everything out of your mind. Put the Tic-Tac in your mouth and align it, as best you can, in the middle of your tongue. Move it as far back as you comfortabley can (this made the biggest difference for me, the farther back the object is the easier it will go down). Now, push the tip of your tongue firmly against your bottom front teeth and hold it there throughout the whole swallowing process. At this point you can begin to picture your tongue in the shape of an arch. Now, in one motion, as you begin sipping your water slowly tip your head back a little. Once the water hits your tongue immediately swallow. Personally, when I first started I thought drinking out of a water bottle made the whole process easier so you can definitely give that a try. Don’t get discouraged if you can’t get it at first - it took me a bit of practice but I finally got it down and was really proud of myself. Most importantly, don’t rush, be patient, and have undying confidence and drive to get it down. Sooner or later you’ll be popping horse pills or even a handful of pills like nothing. As a side note, the taste of Tribex is utterly disgusting (believe me, I tried)! All the best of luck to you!
