Which is better for your body: Superfood Powders or Capsules, Formulations and Pills?

In an ideal world, you’d get all the nutrients you need from the foods you eat. However, food deserts, soil depletion, and dietary restrictions make this nearly impossible. The saying goes that today we would have to eat eight oranges to meet the same nutrient value as one orange our grandparents ate when they were children. So, you might turn to supplements to get your essential vitamins and minerals. The only problem is, capsules and pills aren’t doing much to keep you healthy…

In a 2018 study, researchers examined the effects of four common supplements – multivitamins, vitamin C, vitamin D, and calcium. "We were surprised to find so few positive effects of the most common supplements that people consume," said Dr. Jenkins, the study's lead author and a professor of nutritional sciences and medicine at the University of Toronto. "In the absence of significant positive data... it's most beneficial to rely on a healthy diet to get your fill of vitamins and minerals."

And that’s where superfood powders come in!

Superfoods are natural whole foods that are extremely high in micronutrients.

Here are the top six reasons why superfood powders are better than pills...

1. Superfoods Are Natural

Don’t overwhelm your body with synthetic nutrients. Instead, nourish it with powdered superfoods! Unlike store-bought vitamins, superfoods are found and grown in nature. They range from fruits and veggies, to grasses and seaweed. Skip the stuff made in a lab and opt for ingredients grown in rich, organic soil.

2. Superfoods Are Absorbed More Easily

If you take capsules, your body has to spend energy to break down the outside of the capsule first (often made of gelatin or cellulose). But superfood powders are naturally dried or freeze-dried directly after harvesting. This not only helps maintain the highest amount of nutrients, but it also allows your body to absorb them quicker.

3. Superfoods Are Easy To Use

Superfood powders can easily be added to any meal, including smoothies, dips, soups, shakes…you name it! Plus, you can combine multiple superfood powders to suit your health needs.

4. Superfoods Are Delicious

Soursop for examples tastes devine! And unlike supplements, they won’t leave a metallic aftertaste.

5. Flexibility in dosing

The use of powders means that the user has a flexibility in dosing. Unlike tablets or capsules that come in pre-determined doses, powders can be easily tailored to the patient's needs.

6. Stability

Powders can be more stable than liquid formulations, especially for drugs that are sensitive to moisture or temperature changes.
