What is the most suitable dosage form for you and your customers? Below is a short list of the advantages and disadvantages of the different possibilities that Vita Natura offers.

              Capsules

               Advantages:

              Easy dosage

              Capsules contain a predetermined quantity of the active ingredient, which provides precise dosage.  

              Protection of the ingredients
              The capsule shell can protect the ingredients from light, air and moisture.   

              Taste
              As the ingredients are encapsulated in a neutral-tasting shell, unpleasant aromas do not have to be experienced.   

              Release
              The release of the active ingredients depends on the capsule shell and can be delayed, which is ideal for ingredients that are sensitive to stomach acid.

              Transportation
              As the ingredients are encapsulated in a neutral-tasting shell, unpleasant aromas do not have to be experienced.

              Disadvantages:

              Problems swallowing

              Some people have difficulty swallowing capsules.

              Dosage

              A large quantity of ingredients might not fit into the capsule shell.

              Liquids

               Advantages:

              Quick absorption
              Liquid food supplements can be absorbed more quickly, as they do not have to be broken down in the stomach.      

              Simple intake
              Liquids can be mixed with water or other liquids, which makes them easier to take for people who have difficulty swallowing.        

              Taste
              The addition of natural flavours is possible and is particularly suitable for products for children.        

              Disadvantages:

              Taste
              Liquid substances can have an intense or unpleasant taste.

              Durability and storage 
              Liquids are more susceptible to impurities and often require cold storage, usually in a refrigerator.

              Dosage

              Some liquids need to be measured using a dosing aid such as a measuring cup or a measuring spoon.

              Powders

               Advantages:

              Flexible application
              Powders can be mixed with drinks, smoothies or food. This allows for individual dosage adjustments.        

              Without artificial additives
              Powders contain few additives, as they do not require fillers or capsule shells.        

              High content of active ingredients
              Powders can contain a high content of active ingredients, as there is no limitation imposed by the size of a capsule shell.       

              Disadvantages:

              Dosage

              Precise dosage can be difficult when the powder is not pre-packaged in individual doses.

              Taste and solubility

              Some powders can have an unpleasant taste or be difficult to dissolve in liquids.

              Storage

              Powders are susceptible to moisture and often require storage in special containers to retain their quality.
