Can Bion tablets be divided and dissolved?

Dividing or dissolving the Bion^® tablet is not recommended because this would damage the protective layer around the tablet of some products. This layer provides an additional protection for the probiotic cultures from stomach and bile acid during their passage through the stomach and intestine. The Bion^® tablet needs to be swallowed whole and intact for the living probiotic cultures to reach the gut where they can exert their many positive, health-promoting effects.
