Softgels are a type of capsule used to deliver liquid medications or supplements. They are made from a gelatin shell that is soft and flexible, allowing for easy swallowing. The liquid inside can contain various ingredients, such as vitamins, minerals, or herbal extracts, making softgels a popular choice for those seeking dietary supplements. These capsules are designed to dissolve quickly in the stomach, ensuring that the active ingredients are absorbed efficiently. Softgels are often preferred over traditional tablets because they can mask unpleasant tastes and provide a more convenient way to take liquid formulations, such as omega-3 fatty acids or vitamin D.
