crushed tablet vs softgel?

[drake25]

im taking a magnesium supplement (for anxiety, insomnia, energy) and i was at the store and "NOW" supplement brand has magnesium citrate in tablet form and softgel form

i was debating what would be more effective in terms of the body absorbing it

crushing tablet with pill crusher and putting the powder in a protein shake vs the softgel version

appreciate the responses..

i dont think itll make a difference, whether you crush it or not or use a softgel will not change body absorption, it may increase how quickly you absorb it by about 2 minutes but thats it.
