Dietary supplements are typically prepared for ingestion in the following forms of presentation:
1. Capsules: These are small, gelatin or vegetable-based capsules that contain the powdered form of the supplement. They are easy to swallow and dissolve quickly in the stomach.
2. Tablets: These are compressed forms of the supplement that are typically coated for easier swallowing. They may also come in chewable or effervescent forms.
3. Softgels: These are similar to capsules but are made with a soft, gel-like outer shell that contains the liquid form of the supplement.
4. Powders: These are loose powders that can be mixed with water or other liquids for ingestion. They are often used in protein powders and other sports supplements.
5. Liquids: These are pre-mixed liquid forms of the supplement that can be taken directly or mixed with water or juice.
6. Gummies: These are chewy, candy-like supplements that are often flavored and colored to make them more appealing to children and adults who have difficulty swallowing pills.
7. Bars: These are solid bars that contain the supplement in a concentrated form. They are often used as meal replacements or snacks for convenience.
