When we take pills, we rarely consider the amazing facts that let us do so.
Do you ever consider that the pill we are taking is required to survive the hydrochloric and other acids in our stomach? (Even if that pill is meant to travel around our body from the stomach, the “guts” of the pill have to survive our guts!) And, if we need intestinal transfer (often where the transmission to our body is the best means of delivery), then the pill needs to be able to withstand all the enzymes in our intestines that were designed to break down proteins and then allow the dosage to pass through the mucus layer that protects the intestines from our enzymes and stuff we eat.
