CLA help! :)

Hey fellow fitness pals!
So I have been searching for this answer everywhere and am hoping someone can help me out.
I really want to start taking CLA, I work out atleast 5 days a week, and am watching food intake. I want to start taking CLA however I cant swallow pills and we all know how HUGE CLA pills are haha.
I have been searching for liquid CLA but cannot locate it anywhere GNC said they stopped selling it ... So I am debating if it would work still if I broke up the liquid gel pills and drank them. Yes gross.. but I am prepared to deal with that. However I know a lot of pills loose their efficiency if they are broken up so I just wasn't sure if it would be worth the money or not.

Haha any advice is highly appreciated !!

Thanks guys!

why not take it with a big gulp of water? I find taking larger pills easier to do that way. CLA can be beneficial but its not a magic fat loss pill, just to make sure that is clarified.

Thanks for clarification, I understand that. I don't believe in weight loss pills. Im interested in CLA because of all the benefits it has not for merely the hopes to loose more weight. Its suppose to increase metabolism, help your immune system etc as well.

indeed, it is beneficial so is ALA (alpha lipoic acid), I do not particularly care for large pills either which is why I take it with a large mouthful of water, mind you adding it to say a smoothie may work for you as well, it should not lose any of its effectiveness if broken up so long as you are getting all of it in.

I use to be terrified of swallowing pills when I was a kid so whenever I had to take antibiotics I would literally chew them, it was disgusting, but that's how badly I didn't want to swallow those pills.
