At present, many exceptional nutritional products are available in solid pill and capsule form. Unfortunately, a significant portion of our population has difficulty ingesting pills and capsules. This segment, therefore, is unable to realize the benefits of these nutritional supplements. For some individuals—particularly in the elderly population—anatomical or neuromuscular difficulties prevent them from swallowing large pills or capsules. For others, the difficulty is merely a psychological phenomenon that deters the ingestion of large solid objects. Whatever the reason, these individuals miss out on the significant health benefits of nutritional supplementation.
In contrast to their pill and capsule counterparts, gel formulations are typically moist, smooth, flavorful and easy to swallow. By suspending nutrients in a gel, individuals with swallowing difficulties have a higher likelihood of easily ingesting nutritional supplements. Moreover, those with psychological issues related to pills and capsules will likewise be more inclined to consume gel supplements.
