Gummies vs Capsules: What Changes When the Form Changes
A gummy and a capsule can carry the same vitamin, but the form changes the details: gummies are chewed, usually contain a sweetener and a gelling agent, and have limited room for a big dose. Capsules hold more powder and no sugar. Compare labels on amounts, other ingredients and cost, not on the form.

What is different about a gummy?
It is chewed, tastes sweet and has to hold its shape. That calls for a sweetener and a gelling agent, and the product sheet does not name either for Gelagen. Gummies suit people who struggle with swallowing pills, and the jar of 60 is a pleasant routine for some.
What is different about a capsule?
A capsule shell holds a powder or oil with little else. There is room for larger amounts of minerals, and no added sugar is needed. The trade-off is swallowing, and some people dislike the aftertaste of fish or herbal fills. Neither form is better at delivering a vitamin per se.
Which should you compare on?
Amounts per serving, the serving size, percent Daily Value and the other ingredients line (FDA, Structure/Function Claims). If you must avoid sugar, gelatin or a dye, that line decides it. Our gummy form page shows what we know and do not know about Gelagen's recipe.

See packsWhat about cost and dose?
Compare the cost per day, not the price per jar. Gelagen works out at about $2.63, $2.30 or $1.63 a day depending on the pack. A cheaper capsule with less of what you want is not cheaper, and a gummy with a large biotin number is not better by being large.

FAQ01
Gelagen questions people ask
Do gummies absorb worse than capsules?
We found no source that settles this for the nutrients in Gelagen. Absorption depends on the form of each nutrient and on food, not only on the shape.
Do gummies contain sugar?
Most do, in small amounts. The Gelagen product sheet does not list the sweetener, so check the other ingredients line on the jar.
Is a gummy easier for kids?
Gelagen is described for adults. A gummy looks like candy, so store it out of reach of children.
