4. Ithe trick to getting stubborn pills down...

I use a pill cutter if need be
and
I buy orange juice with lots of pulp. Somehow if I can't feel the pill, it goes down better.

The gelatin capsules go down better if I have a mouthful of the OJ and then, standing, lean over a bit so gravity can assist, since otherwise, the gelatin pills want to float back up in your mouth instead of down.
The fish oil caps I use are pretty large.
and yeah, somewhere along the line I got a bunch of pills in my life. Have no idea how that became the new normal.
