Difficulty Swallowing Pills? Try Quick-Dissolve Supplements

Did you know it is estimated that between 10 to 40% of adults have trouble swallowing pills according to a 2018 study?¹

Quick-dissolve supplements are designed to begin dissolving in the mouth before swallowing. This reduces the pill size and makes them a convenient option for those who have difficulty swallowing pills.

Here are some key features and benefits of quick-dissolve supplements:

• Convenience: Quick-dissolve supplements are designed to be placed under the tongue for 30 seconds before swallowing. They begin dissolving in the mouth, reducing the size before ingestion. 

• Suitable for people who struggle with pill swallowing: Quick-dissolve supplements provide an easier way to take essential nutrients.

• Multiple formulations: Quick-dissolve supplements are available for vitamins, minerals, and herbal extracts and can cater to many wellness needs.

Here are quick-dissolve supplements you may find beneficial: 

Quick Dissolve Hair, Skin, and Nails 

Puritan’s Pride Quick Dissolve Hair, Skin & Nails formula contains 2500 mcg of biotin per serving. Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin that assists in energy metabolism in cells.*

This formula also contains 60 mg of Vitamin C per serving for its antioxidant properties.* Vitamin C is involved in the production of collagen, which forms the basis for vibrant skin.* This supplement begins dissolving in your mouth before swallowing, with a great-tasting, strawberry lemonade flavor.

Quick Dissolve Melatonin 

Melatonin is a hormone responsible for supporting the sleep-wake cycle, present in both animals and humans.* It is produced in the pineal gland, a small, pea-sized gland in the brain. The production and release of melatonin falls in the morning and increases in the evening to support sleep.* Melatonin helps you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.*

Because insufficient sleep can affect energy and mood, melatonin is a terrific choice if you experience occasional sleeplessness or jet lag, or if you want to improve your quality of rest.* This quick-dissolve tablet has a pleasant strawberry taste and delivers 10 mg of melatonin for your needs.
