Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be hard, especially when there’s so much to keep track of.
You have to eat well, stay active and keep track of all of your medications and supplements.
If your medication or supplements need to be taken at different times of the day, this can lead to pill fatigue.
Is pill fatigue real?
Absolutely!
Pill fatigue is a genuine issue(1 p1,2,5&7) that many people experience, especially those managing health issues (2 p5) or taking multiple medications. (3 p1)
Keeping up with a daily pill routine can be challenging (3 p1), difficult to remember (2 p5, 4 p2) and even lead to skipped or forgotten doses.
With busy schedules packed with work, family, and social commitments, it’s no surprise that taking pills can sometimes slip our minds. (5 p1)
How do I know if I’m experiencing pill fatigue?
Pill fatigue is more common than you think, and it can affect anyone.
Some signs you may be experiencing pill fatigue include:
- Losing track of what to take and when
- Wanting to skip supplements or feeling less motivated to take your daily supplements
- Feeling overwhelmed about taking your medication or supplements
You're not alone, and there is help available.

How Blackmores Rapi-Melt range can help
Blackmores Rapi-Melt™ range offers a quick and convenient alternative to traditional pills.
While oral (mouth) medication is the most common and preferred way to take medicines and supplements, in a recent Australian study, 32% of participating healthy adults reported difficulty swallowing tablets, and over half had experienced it at some point in their lives.1 (p1)
A melt is a fast-dissolving supplement that you can place in your mouth until it dissolves, with no water required and is taken once a day like a traditional pill.
This means that once the melts are dissolved, the remainder is swallowed, so melts are absorbed both through your mouth and digestive system, making it a practical and user-friendly option for those looking to simplify their supplement routine. (11 p1, 13 p1)
Blackmores B12 Rapi-Melt comes with 60 Melts and provides B12 that support your energy levels in a convenient one-a-day dose. It comes in a great-tasting cherry flavour and can help support your general health and wellbeing.
