Excellent point. When you take many supplements it can be an issue to swallow down so many tablets or capsules.

One thing is to find other forms. I have this magnesium supplement I use that comes in a powder form (you add to water or juice) to avoid more pills to swallow. Some products come in sublingual form, some come in cream-based form (magnesium oil, for example). I try to find these alternatives to help reduce the overall number of pills I have to swallow.

There are a few supplements you can find in other forms beside pills.

I find that my gag reflex can be more responsive at some times and not so responsive at others. And I do sometimes put in my mouth several capsules at once that will make me almost gag. You have to pace yourself and know what may trigger that response in you. And sometimes you have to get the smaller size capsules if the large 00 size are hard to swallow by themselves.
