Different Types Of Supplements - And Their Benefits

March 29, 2021

There are a few different forms supplements can take.

Today we are going to talk a little bit about capsules and softgels. Is one better than the other? We’ll let you find out!

Capsules

Capsules are semi-hard-shelled cylinders consisting of 2 halves. They are easy to swallow and can be made from either animal or plant materials.

They can hold both dry and liquid-based ingredients without breaking down inside of the mouth. If the ingredients in the supplement have an unpleasant taste, you would not know.

If you find swallowing pills difficult, many capsules can be taken apart and the contents added to a glass of water or smoothie. It is best to consult a doctor or reach out to the manufacturers of the capsules to determine if this is safe.

Softgels

Softgels always consist of liquid ingredients inside of a gelatin casing.

The gelatin casing is a natural antioxidant with a long shelf life and is resistant to both UV rays and oxidation! Though you may not taste the actual ingredients inside of the softgel, the gelatin casing does have a mild taste.

Softgels are easier to swallow due to the flexibility of the gelatin casing! They also are absorbed faster into the bloodstream!
