Can I split the capsule dose in half by opening it and stirring the contents into my meal?

HydroxyElite capsules are just gelatin shells,so you *could* split one open and mix half the powder into food or a shake if you’re trying to taper your dose. However, the formula is a proprietary blend, so the active ingredients may not be evenly distributed in half a capsule; therefore, it is not recommended. For more reliable dosing we recommend taking whole capsules as directed (start with one in the morning, add a second only if tolerated) rather than trying to split them.
