There are a number of reasons to use orally disintegrating tablets, like Smart Melts, over traditional pills, tablets or capsules. They offer a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles, and provide an easier alternative for those who struggle to swallow conventional tablets and capsules2. Let’s take a further look at some of the benefits of dissolvable tablets.
What are the benefits of dissolvable tablets?
There are several key benefits of orally disintegrating tablets, which makes them an ideal alternative to traditional pills and tablets:
- Dissolvable vitamins suit adults who have difficulty swallowing regular pills and capsules2.
- Dissolvable tablets are convenient and portable. There’s no need to chase them down with water1, making them an easy option if you’re constantly on the go.
- They are designed to dissolve on the tongue1.
How an orally disintegrating tablet works
Orally disintegrating tablets work by dissolving when they come into contact with moisture on the tongue3. While they typically dissolve within a short amount of time , some dissolvable tablets can take up to a minute to disintegrate3.
Thanks to the dissolvable nature of these tablets, they’re an ideal option for adults of all ages and health needs, including those who want a more convenient and easier way to take their vitamins.
Can you swallow dissolvable vitamins?
Dissolvable supplements are meant to be placed on the tongue to dissolve. As with any supplement, be sure to follow the correct directions for use.
What types of Smart Melts are there?
Swisse recently introduced a range of Smart Melts that have been formulated with ingredients tailored to various health needs, including bloating , stress relief and energy support.
Let’s take a look at some of the dissolvable vitamin tablets in the Smart Melts range.
Bloat Relief Smart Melt
Swisse’s Ultiboost Bloat Relief Smart Melt features bacillus coagulans, a spore-forming probiotic that supports various aspects of digestive system health, including relieving indigestion symptoms, digestive discomfort and abdominal bloating. Bacillus coagulans also helps to maintain beneficial gut flora.
Energy Boost Smart Melt
The Swisse Ultiboost Energy Boost Smart Melt tablets have been formulated with Korean ginseng (panax ginseng) and mecobalamin (an activated form of vitamin B12). Korean ginseng can maintain stamina and relieve tiredness, while the activated B12 works to support energy production without the use of caffeine.
Caffeine is commonly found in many energy supplements, and although it works acutely, caffeine is also known to cause jitteriness and caffeine-induced energy crashes.
Sugar Curb Smart Melt
The Swisse Ultiboost Sugar Curb Smart Melt contains gymnema. When combined with zinc, it can aid in the management of sugar cravings. Gymnema works to dull sweet taste receptors, so it’s common to experience a change in the flavour of foods and drinks after taking this Smart Melt.
Stress Relief Smart Melt
Featuring a combination of Affron® and vitamin B12, the Swisse Ultiboost Stress Relief Smart Melt has been formulated to support mood balance and reduce fatigue. Affron®, a type of saffron extract, supports healthy mood balance and helps decrease symptoms of stress, while vitamin B12 aids in energy production, relieves fatigue and supports cognitive function.
