Capsules are filled with powders that have air space between the particles.

That means that they generally float on top of a liquid in the mouth.

The trick to swallowing capsules is to tip your head forward far enough so the capsule floats to the back of the mouth on top of the liquid.

Then, when you swallow, the liquid follows the capsule, pushing it down the esophagus to the stomach.

Capsules are generally preferred over tablets because they are easier to digest, and because most tablets use a large amount of stearates to hold them together.

Stearates form a biofilm on ingredients and the gut lining that reduces bioavailability of nutrients in the supplement as well as those in the diet...

All of our encapsulated Functional Formulations™ are free of stearates and other non-nutritive excipients.
