While you likely have your own preference for the supplements you take, there are often reasons why they took the form they did. Whether you are interested in manufacturing a tablets or capsules for your supplement, there are many different factors that can influence your decision. Depending on your target formula, these key factors can help determine the type your supplement takes.
Advantages of Capsules
Capsules are often utilized for formulas that need to be easily digested or contain sensitive ingredients. While capsule manufacturing may be slightly more expensive than tableting, the finished product has no flavor and is easily swallowed to ensure the best experience possible for your customers. One other advantage of utilizing capsules is that they can meet a wide range of dietary restrictions, including vegetarian, halal, kosher or vegan, while being easily opened to release the powdered ingredients.
Advantages of Tablets
To create a tableted supplement, ingredients are pressed into a custom size, shape and appearance through the use of a mold. As a widely accepted and versatile supplement type, tablet manufacturing is an affordable way to get your products in front of customers. Tablets can also be modified in many cases with enteric coatings to delay dissolution until a later point in the digestion process for the best absorption timing possible.
