Why dosage form matters
Form drives convenience, ingredient stability, achievable dosage, unit cost, and consumer perception.Choose it together with ingredient properties and target customer.
Softgel
Best for oils and fat-soluble ingredients; good absorption and a premium feel.Limited for powders.
Tablet & hard capsule
Tablets offer high dosage and cost efficiency; hard capsules suit powders/granules.Balance swallowability and size.
Powder & stick
Good for high-volume ingredients or flavored products; sticks help portability and single-serving dosing.
Jelly & gummy
Taste and texture lower resistance for younger/kids targets, but require design for dosage, sugar, and stability.
Form selection checklist

- Ingredient nature — oil / powder / extract
