Is it safe to empty out contents of a multi-antioxidant capsule and sprinkle it onto food?

As I cantt swallow capsules....

I understand there are reasons for leaving contents in capsules with time release vitamins or robotics so they reach the gut ...... but just checking its safe to do this with these ingredients...

vitamin A
C
E
B2
Zinc
Selenium
Manganese
Blue green algae
Garlic
Ginger
Green tea
NAC N-Acetylcysteine
Sweet Cherry
Turmeric
Grape Fruit Seed Extract


Thanks!

Golden, I can't answer your question of safety on sprinkling the capsule on food, but am interested in brand name of this supplement as it seems to have a good selection of anti-oxidants. Thanks.

I think it is good quality. Thanks for your advice. I am frustrated with myself for just not being able to swallow the capsules lol

I hadn't thought of the heat .... I will ring and ask if I can add it to a smoothie and hang on before taking it again.
