I often hear of people who have trouble taking pills, prescription or supplements. I have found a couple of ways that my pills go down easier.
The first doesn't use anything special, just take a large mouthful of drink with the pill. It opens the throat so that the pill doesn't have a chance to hit and stick to the side of your throat. The second method needs a banana. You guessed it, the banana makes the pills slippery so that they will slide down with less chance of sticking to the side of the throat, however, use a pretty big mouthful of banana to open the throat, the same as when taking a pill with water.

Ever pray a blessing over supplements and medications? I have begun doing this we know we are to give Him first place in everything, and Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals thee, is one of His names, in this world we can often praise Him one minute, then the next give manmade medicine first place if an attack of the enemy produces illness.
Especially now with Kill Bill Gates and Dr. Phony Fauci's poison vaccine we should pray it do good and not harm if we fall for the devils temptation to receive it.

It sounds so easy, but here I tried it, and it worked. I just took a big sip of water with the pill. I have to take my vitamins, so I have to take three pills at a time.
