Frequently asked questions about dosage forms

Does one dosage form work better than another?
This cannot be determined by the form alone. What matters is the specific ingredient, its compound, the composition, the amount per daily portion and how the respective product is used.
Do I always have to take food supplements with water?
That depends on the product. Capsules, tablets and softgels are usually taken with sufficient liquid. Drink shots are ready to drink; effervescent tablets and many powders and sachets are dissolved or stirred into water as directed. The recommended intake on the product page and packaging applies.
What is the difference between powder in a tub and sachets?
Sachets contain a pre-portioned amount of powder. Powder in a tub is measured with the scoop provided as directed. Depending on the product, both are stirred into water or a suitable food.
Can I open capsules or crush tablets?
Only if this is expressly provided for in the directions of the specific product. Otherwise, take the form unchanged according to the recommended intake.
Which form is practical on the go?
Capsules, tablets and softgels are compact. Drink shots are already ready to drink. Sachets are easy to take with you but, depending on the product, need water or another suitable liquid for stirring in.
How should I store the products?
In the unopened original packaging according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Many products should be stored dry and protected from heat and light; the information on the packaging applies.
