I think it depends on the person. I bet my dad could take it as he will down most anything. Now my mom bothering to give it to him is another thing entirely.
I think if you can make a nice thick smoothie with milk or yogurt, 2 tsp of coco oil, maybe some fresh berries, and half a banana, you wouldn’t know it was in there. I’ve done that before. Never even thought to take it alone, ugh. No need.
