Gummies or capsules: which to choose for your supplements?

Facing the supplement aisle, one question keeps coming up: gummies or capsules? Both formats have their strengths. Absorption, dosage, pleasure of taking and regularity: here's a clear comparison to choose the format that really suits you.

Gummies: pleasure and adherence

Gummies win people over with their taste and ease of taking, without water. Their main advantage is often underestimated: adherence. A supplement you enjoy taking is one you don't forget, and regularity is the key to adaptogens' effectiveness.

Capsules: concentration and neutrality

Capsules allow sometimes higher dosages and add neither sugar nor flavouring. They suit very concentrated formulas or strong-tasting actives. On the other hand, they're sometimes less pleasant to swallow and easier to forget.

What about absorption?

Contrary to popular belief, a well-formulated gummy ensures good absorption of the actives. The format matters less than the quality of the formula, the real dosage and the regularity of intake.

A word on sugar

The real point of vigilance for gummies is sugar. At BIEN health, our CALM, FOCUS and POWER gummies are formulated with no added sugar, vegan and at studied dosages: pleasure without the compromise.

So, which to choose?

If you're after simplicity and everyday regularity, gummies are ideal. For very high dosages or specialised courses, capsules keep their appeal. And for a complete gesture, the MushGlow powder to dilute offers a third way, rich and adjustable.
