Horse supplement pills vs. supplement noob

I am trying to learn about supplement pills. I cannot seem to swallow all the horse sized pills that contain all the supplements. Even my half sized Centrum Silver makes me gag to the point that I am afraid that I will inhale the half pill. I feel like a walking pill bag when I am consuming no less than 6 pills per meal. I am open to suggestions including caloric shakes. My nutrition challenges are calcium, potassium, and general nutrients. My current pill take is 6 Natures Purest Bone Factors, 1 Centrum Silver for women, 1 iron, 1 Vitamin E ,2 Fish oil, I take them over the course of breakfast and lunch. There must be a better way.

Grind them up in smoothies, or other liquids. If it's a capsule, empty the contents in, don't grind up the shell.
Also, it's pretty much impossible to get enough daily Omega 3 from fish oil with only two pills.0 -
There is, it's called a balanced diet.0

Gummy Vitamins. They make them for adults and lately I've seen more and more different vitamins in gummy form. Much better than those gigantic nasty vitamins.0

Just eat a balanced diet. THAT is the better way.0 -
Thanks for the replies. I dread the pills so much that I don't take them consistently. I will try your ideas.0

This is my answer, too. Eat your fruits and veggies. Do juicing, smoothies. Get out for a walk on sunny days for some Vitamin D.0 -
Softgels are easy to swallow. Animal Pak had 11 pills and like 4-5 of them were huge and you take them all at one time..terrible lol.0
