Taking a vote; Powder or capsules? Does one have better bio-availability than the other?

I prefer to use the powder while I'm training. Its supposed to have a better absorption rate.

Please, for the love of all things good, no not get powder. It tastes too bad and nothing can mask it. It's not worth whatever savings you find. Get the capsules. Trust me.

With all supplements, capsules are usually the same powder packed into gelatin shells. They bio-availability is basically identical, but you are paying a premium for convienience and gelatin. As a warning, this product does not mix easily, so order your magic potion shaken not stirred.

No difference. Other than the price. You pay extra for the convenience of a capsule.

the powder works faster i was told it goes right in your blood streem while it takes longer for the pills to work ,also you should watch and make sure when you buy it that it has a lot number to avoid scams. i bought pills they are not working as good as the powder.

They give the same description and combine the reviews for both, which I find very misleading. The capsules actually do not contain any pre-biotics, only probiotics and digestive enzymes.

Impossible answer with certitude : I have two capsules daily. I suppose continuous use.

My endocrinologist recommended several brands of alpha lipoic acid. Natrol was on the list. I tried several, but not all of them. Some contained fillers that my digestive system could not tolerate. However let me emphasize that he told me on my most recent visit that it has been found that the soft-gel capsule is absorbed better, therefore when I finish the product which I have on hand, I will switch. I do know that the Natrol does work.

Best way to decide that is to try one by itself......see how you feel..... Then try them together! Everyone's reaction to supplements are different. One brand may not work for you. Don't stop trying if one supplement isn't working. I personally have used both ,and I was ok. Just monster your body's reaction .

Capsules are so much easier if you don't mind swallowing pills. The packets in water don't taste bad, (lemony, or a bit like fruity pebbles in my opinion), but there is a degree of "choking it down," day after day. If you get packets, I recommend using as little water as possible just to get it over with. The capsules aren't huge, about the size of Excedrin Gelcaps, so i now choose capsules exclusively.

GYes, this is powder/granules. I have never used the liquid filled capsules to be able to compare the two.

I don't know the difference. That being said, I did not get paid to try the product and it's worked very well. 3 quick capsules are better than an energy drink, and the effects certainly last longer.

In my opinion, I don't believe it has the same effect. The capsule is not very big easy to swallow.

I called the company a couple of months ago and asked the same question. If I remember correctly, they told me the bottles contain the same amount of product, both count and volume. I think that the dosage is a personal decision that you make for yourself, as it seems to me that the label dosage was lowered, perhaps as a measure to make it seem that the product will last longer. Actually, there is no real set dosage as there is no daily requirement involving the RMA+ mineral supplement. Since the label change I have been taking the same four capsules daily that I began taking last November. Nothing has changed, and the product still works just as good as it ever did! I know it appears confusing, but nothing except the label has changed, and unless you think taking a lesser dose will work just as well for you, it is really only a matter of economics and performance. What I found out that concerns me more, is that the price went up! That made me search for a better price, and I did find it substantially cheaper elsewhere on the internet! Try overstock.com!

well I am not really sure, I haven't taken pills yet, although I supose capsules might digest faster because it is powder.

Î never tried the capsules. Found local raw honey source and use that instead. Stuff is great.

No, gel caps are more dense and take much longer to dissolve and you can't beat these capsules for the price.

I buy mine @ Wal-mart, they all seem about the same, it is the quantity you take that matters. Just because it costs more, doesn't necessarily mean it is better. I'm sorry, I can't really rate one over the other. I take 2 capsules 3x a day of the triple strength I buy @ Wal-mart along with the milled flaxseed I get in the flour section & I have minimal knee & joint pain.

I've tried both, but I do tend to lean more towards the chocolate. Since I primarily use it in my protein shakes, which I add powdered supplements to, the chocolate tends to cut out the taste of the supplements better. :)

I've heard time and time again that it's the packets. I was thinking of going caplet because I figured they would last longer to make it more intact into the digestive track but the packets work great for me so I'm sticking to them!
