I will admit, the process did take a bit for me to get used to. Not only because I wasn't used to having to take anything on a daily basis (I don't even take birth control pills anymore, now that I have an IUD), but the method of taking them is, well, quite unique. Like I mentioned before, these vitamins come in bead-form, so you can't really just throw one back with a glass of water and be done with it. The instructions mention that you can mix it into a smoothie or food, but I found it easier to pour a bit into my mouth in increments, usually taking about three swallows. It doesn't taste like anything, which is nice, but it can take some practice to not spill it all over yourself.
