Just what Jan said, The pill form allows you to either swallow it or you can chew it then swallow it, (although not the best tasting) my local walmart had beano meltaways which were "strawberry flavored" and the box said one meltaway equals two pills..could be cost effective havent done the math.
No matter what it looks like it works so much better if you take it before the first bite..if you take it after eating or in the middle of it doesnt seem like it works as good.
