FNY -“When taking such an item for the sake of relieving discomfort or even adding comfort, even if NOT incapacitating, I’d assume MUTTAR GAMMUR.”
Your assumption is wrong!
Even though there are some Poskim that say Gelatin is Mutter – it’s not most! The Halachah is you go after Rov! Therefore if it’s not incapacitating – then you can’t take those pills! (Medrabbonim)
