The incredible ""glowing"" history of the ""Devil's element ""phosphorus

Discovered by alchemists, prescribed by apothecaries, exploited by ninth-century industrialists, and abused by twentieth-century combatants, the chemical element phosphorus has fascinated us for more than three centuries. It may even be the cause of will-o'-the wisps and spontaneous human combustion Now John Emsley has written an enthralling account of this eerily luminescent element. Shining with wonderful nuggets-from murders-by-phosphorus to a match factory strike; from the firebombing of Hamburg to the deadly compounds derived from phosphorus today-The 13th Element weaves together a rich tableau of brilliant and oddball characters, social upheavals, and bizarre events.

Look for other options if you have trouble swallowing pills.
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
I bought these to replace a 30ct gummy bottle I bought for $9.99, thinking these capsules would be easier to swallow. I was wrong, very much so, for myself anyway. I always have struggled swallowing pills to begin with, ever since I was a child. In order to swallow pills, I must either place them on my tongue and swallow with a liquid or I must take a drink first and drop the pill into my mouth. I do the latter for these, and while I've seen so many great reviews for this product, I think I'm going to need to find something else. Because these come in capsules, they are buoyant. As soon as I put them in my mouth, they float to the roof, which is no big deal. However, they have a semi-foul taste to me and even using flavored drinks, the flavor overpowers my drink and has, on several occasions, gave me the feeling of being close to vomiting. I was super excited for these to help with fighting against all the virus and such circulating, and boosting my immune system. If you can handle larger pills, these will definitely do great for you. I, on the other hand, will need to find something smaller with less of a foul taste for me.
