gel caps
Smooth swallowable medicine
Gel caps are medications or supplements enclosed in a soft, gelatin-based shell that dissolves after swallowing.
The smooth coating makes them easier to swallow than tablets and can mask unpleasant tastes.
Also spelled gelcaps or gel-caps: I switched to gel caps because the regular pills were too chalky.
