Can Sodium butyrate in capsules for relieving irritable bowel syndrome be taken without a capsule - e.g. by pouring the contents on a teaspoon?

Most manufacturers of Sodium butyrate recommend taking the capsule whole - without chewing and spilling out the contents. The shell of the drug is designed m.in. to protect the component inside it from the action of digestive enzymes and to allow the action of the preparation in a specific part of the digestive tract.
