What if it's not time released?And how can you tell if it's time released? My 500 mg vitamin c says nothing on the bottle about time release.

Yes you can with a sharp knife I do it myself with the 20mg time release I get! Just be careful because it is hard but not impossible!

You could also dissolve the pills in a small amount of water if you are having trouble swallowing with water whole. Cutting them or crushing them is not a good idea. Could cause side effects and too much will be released at once.

No, it is not a good idea to cut or crush any time released medication or supplement. It could result in too much of it being released, at once, in your body.

Since Vitamin C is also very acidic, it could also cause esophageal or stomach irritation that could result in ulcerations.
