Opening capsules

Is it ok if I open 5htp capsules and put the content in drink?

It seems to me that this should not be done, because the capsule protects the contents so that it is better absorbed

If they are vitamins, amino acids,  herbs or minerals, I don't see any reason not to. I use to do it with all my vitamins due to food allergies, you see, most of the capsules are made from beef gelatin, I was allergic to beef, so I opened them up and put the contents in orange juice, it didn't taste too great, but it was the way for me to get my vitamins. I think that it might even help them to get into your system faster, I would certainly do it.
