For years, I’ve told my subscribers to chew their vitamins. Clinical research has shown that there is more to digesting something than simply dropping it in the stomach and forgetting about it. You should chew (or at least taste) all of the vitamins you are taking! Nutritional substances are really foods either concentrated or extracted in some way or another. It’s not so much the chewing that seems to be the important thing here, but instead it’s the mixing of the saliva that makes the difference.

However, digestive enzymes are the one exception to this rule. You should NEVER chew or suck on any digestive enzymes!

Digestive enzymes often contain acids and substances that are found only in the parts of the digestive system that are able to handle their caustic properties. Chewing or sucking on these substances cannot only remove enamel from your teeth, but it could cause irritation to the membrane lining of the mouth and the throat. That’s one of the reasons why many manufacturers place a coating on their digestive enzyme products.
