softgels
Smooth supplement shells
Softgels are soft, gelatin-based capsules containing liquid or semi-liquid medication or supplements.
The outer shell dissolves in the digestive tract, releasing the contents.
They're easier to swallow than tablets and allow precise dosing of oils like fish oil or vitamin E: I take my omega-3s in softgel form.
