Capsule or tablet: which wins the battle?

We'd like to address an important topic that can impact your well-being: the choice between capsules and tablets when it comes to nutritional supplements. Perhaps you've wondered what the difference is and which form is best for you.

In this blog post, we'll take you on a journey into the world of capsules and tablets, and show you why we at Goldea Health have a clear preference. Read on and discover how you can make smart choices for your health!

Advantages and disadvantages of tablets

The benefits of tablets.

• Sometimes chewable
• Often cheaper than capsules
• Longer shelf life

On the other hand, tablets also have some disadvantages.

• They can be harder to digest, especially for people with sensitive digestive systems
• Slower absorption
• Poor taste
• They contain excipients and fillers
• In addition, tablets offer less flexibility in dosage because they are already formulated in a solid form

Pros and cons of capsules

The benefits of capsules.

• Easy to swallow due to their smooth and gliding texture
• It is absorbed faster into the body
• Faster effect
• Flexibility in dosage, as they can be opened and the contents mixed with food or drink

The main disadvantage of capsules is that they can be sensitive to moisture and temperature. Therefore, it's important to store them in a cool, dry place to maintain their quality.

Why we at Goldea Health choose capsules

At Goldea Health, we've consciously chosen to offer our nutritional supplements in capsule form. We believe capsules are the most effective and practical way to take supplements. Our capsules are made from high-quality, pure, and natural ingredients. And because our capsules are packaged in blister strips, their quality is preserved. Unlike jars, no air or light gets to the capsules. We value transparency and set high standards for the quality of our products.

What do you want to avoid in tablets?

When choosing nutritional supplements, it's important to pay attention to the ingredients. There are some ingredients you should avoid, especially those found in tablets. These ingredients can affect the quality and effectiveness of the supplement.

So pay close attention to the following ingredients:

• cellulose
• stabilizers
• polyvinyl/polypyrrolidone
• gloss agents
• anti-caking agents
• magnesium stearate
• silicon dioxide
• talcum powder
• dyes
• titanium dioxide

Always check the ingredients list on the label. If you see ingredients you don't recognize as food, or if they contain ingredients from the list above, it's wise to avoid those products. Instead, choose products with a short ingredient list. Read more about natural supplements here, including excipients.

Less is more when it comes to nutritional supplements, with the exception of well-considered herbal preparations.
