TYPES OF DOSAGE FORMS
Today, there are so many different forms of supplements available to choose from the traditional dosage forms such as: tablets, capsules, softgel, powder and liquid to the modern forms of delivery such as: gummies, lozenge, tinctures, strip and more. Depending on what vitamins, minerals, herbs, or other dietary supplements you are taking, the answer to this question varies. Nugen Research offers all of these dietary supplement delivery forms.
Tablets
A solid dosage form of dry ingredients compressed into a pill. Tablets can be any shape and size to make it easy for swallowing. Tablets may contain active ingredients blended uniformly throughout or separated into different layers within the tablet.
At Nugen Research, we make certain that all of your tablets are made with the best ingredients to provide the highest quality. We also offer coated tablets that can be packaged into bottles, multi-pack sachets, or blister packs according to your requirements.
Chewable Tablets
A tablet that is intended to be chewed before swallowing. Chewable tablets are made using lower compression forces to allow the tablet to dissolve in the mouth as it is chewed. Chewable tablets are convenient for individuals who have difficulty swallowing pills.
Capsules

​Capsules are the standard and one of the most common form of dosages in the dietary supplement industries. At Nugen Research, we take a great care in the development, testing, and production of our capsules. We want to make sure our capsules are reliable, effective, and visually appealing for your customers.
