Can Protandim Be Cut In Half?

Is Protandim enteric coated? It is recommend to cut pill in half and take a lower dose if you are having side effects such as headaches. It looks to me like Protandim may be enteric coated, in which cad it is my understanding that it should not be cut in half and taken orally as the pill will dissolve in the stomach rather than the intestine.

hello
i understand your concern. Protandim is a dietary supplement capsule. so you can not cut it as a half and take half dose at a time. common side effects of this drug is allergic reaction, gastrointestinal disturbances and headache. so if you are getting constant headache then consult your local doctor and change the dose of drug.
Protandim indirectly increase the antioxidant level in body. it has no direct effect.
hope this helps.
