I grind up all of my hard supplements with a mortar and pestle(for better absorption). Then I dump them into a small container and dump everything into my mouth and then take some water. Be careful not to inhale while you have the powder in your mouth or you will start coughing.
You can also buy the bulk powder and make your own capsules. We did this for a few months but felt it wasn't healthy to be ingesting so many gel caps. Now if we use anything that comes in a gel cap we just empty them out and throw the gel caps away.
The cat's claw doesn't taste bad. It can really cause a major die off(herx) so start slow.
