Comparing Capsules with Gummies: Pros and Cons

When deciding between capsules or gummies, there’s no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ option - only what works for you. Let’s dive into their respective benefits and disadvantages, allowing you to make an informed decision about whether capsules or gummies might represent the better supplement option.

Capsules

Capsules like our CBN capsules offer several advantages.

Pros:

• Capsules are easy to take. Simply take the required dose with a little water or your preferred drink. If you're already taking supplements such as vitamins, users can add mushroom capsules to the mix easily.
• If users are averse to the taste of gummies, capsules are a tasteless option that can be accompanied or 'washed down' with a sip of your preferred drink.
• Capsules will often contain the recommended daily dose. Sometimes, gummies will require you to calculate the correct dose, adding an extra step to taking a supplement.
• If gummies are less potent, it might mean you need to consume more gummies compared to capsules. For example, adults should consume approximately 1g/1000mg of lion's mane daily. If a gummy only contains 300mg, you will need to consume 3 or 4 gummies, which some users might find inconvenient.

Cons:

• Some people find capsules difficult to swallow and may prefer the ease of chewing a gummy. Though mushroom capsules are not usually large, gummies are a more flavorful and ingestible alternative.
• If you're looking to take a lower dose or experiment with lower doses, then the lower concentration of mushroom extracts in gummies might be advantageous. Inexperienced supplement users might prefer gummies as an introduction to the benefits of mushroom extracts.

Gummies

Gummies like our CBD gummies are a popular option due to their delicious flavor and convenience.

Pros:

• Gummies might come in a variety of flavors. You can customize the gummy options by finding your favorite flavor (typical gummy flavors include watermelon, grape, berry, etc). Some gummies might also come in different shapes (such as cubes, bears, etc.). In contrast, capsules are often not customizable. Gummies, therefore, represent the most 'fun' and versatile option.
• Gummies may also contain other health-boosting ingredients that enhance clarity, energy, and immunity. For example, our Watermelon Stress Mushroom THC Gummies contain certified organic full-spectrum hemp extract (CBD) alongside mushroom extracts like Lion's Mane, Reishi, and Cordyceps. The hemp extract is designed to complement the effects of the mushroom extracts, promoting peacefulness, wellness, and resilience for stressed and overwhelmed users.
• If you're looking for products that promote immunity, check out our blog on boosting immunity with mushroom gummies.

Cons:

• Gummies are generally more expensive due to the extra manufacturing required. If you're filtering mushroom supplement options through a price lens, capsules might be a better option.
• Though some gummies are sugar-free, some may contain added sugar, which may not be ideal for some diets and lifestyles. For those looking for 'clean supplements,' gummies may be unsuitable. Capsules, on the other hand, are designed to be flavorless and devoid of artificial additives.
• Capsules generally have a longer shelf life, meaning that if you're planning on taking mushroom supplements sporadically, capsules might keep longer and deliver better long-term value than gummies.

It is also worth noting that gummies and capsules share many of the same benefits. For example:

• Neither gummies nor capsules require measuring or mixing (like powder or raw extracts do). As gummies and capsules come in defined doses, it’s easy to calculate how much your ideal dosage is. If you want to establish a supplementation regime, the precise quantities of ingredients in both gummies and capsules promote reliable dosing.
• Gummies and capsules are discreet and easy to take whenever required. They are both portable in comparison to traditional options like powders. Though powders can be added to foods and drinks easily, they're not as convenient to carry around. Gummies and capsules are generally packaged into blister packs and compact bottles that are easy to slip into pockets and purses.

In summary, users looking for lower doses and a tastier experience might prefer gummies. Users looking for cleaner, quicker ingestion in tandem with other supplements might prefer capsules. HempLucid is proud to manufacture both, using the finest natural ingredients and production techniques.
