Gummies, capsules or tablets? Understanding formats
5 min read
Supplements come in several formats, and the right one is mostly about what you'll happily take every day.
Gummies are easy and pleasant, which makes them great for anyone who dislikes swallowing tablets — including children, where a product is intended for them. Capsules and tablets tend to be more compact and are a familiar choice for daily staples.
Softgels are often used for oils such as omega, while liquids can be convenient for pets, mixed into food. None of these formats is 'better' in the abstract — the best format is the one that keeps you consistent.
Whichever you choose, always read the label and follow the directions, and don't exceed the recommended daily intake.
