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 recording
• Inferior 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. It is therefore important to store them in a cool and dry place to maintain their quality.

Why we at Goldea Health choose capsules

At Goldea Health, we have consciously chosen to offer our nutritional supplements in capsule form. We believe that 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 in blister strips, the quality is preserved. Air and light do not reach the capsules, as is the case with jars. We attach great importance to transparency and set high standards for the quality of our products.

What do you want to avoid in tablets?

When choosing nutritional supplements it is important to pay attention to the ingredients. There are some ingredients that you should avoid, these are mainly found in tablets. The 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 that you do not recognize as food, or if there are ingredients from the list above, it is wise to avoid these products. Instead, choose products with a short ingredients list.

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

Are capsules better than tablets?

After discussing the pros and cons of capsules and tablets, you may be wondering: are capsules better than tablets? Both forms have their own advantages and disadvantages, but we consciously choose capsules.

Conclusion

When choosing between capsules and tablets, it is important to look at your individual needs and preferences. Both forms have their own advantages and disadvantages. At Goldea Health, we have consciously chosen capsules because of the high-quality, pure and natural ingredients that we put in the capsules.

We attach great importance to the quality of our products and avoid ingredients that could compromise their effectiveness. We invite you to learn more about supplements and make conscious choices with the help of our mini course "Know what you swallow " on our website.
