    I've always preferred the capsule form because they are easier to swallow and get better absorption, IMO. The tablets do not breakdown as easily as the capsules. That is why I believe the capsules get better absorption.

    I thought if it breaks down too fast the stomach acids destroys most of what you are trying to get into your system. And that you need this to get to the small intestines to be delivered to the rest of the body. Correct me if I am wrong.

    Every time release vitamin I've ever seen is in tablet form....take it for what it's worth but the time release vitamins always tend to be better than the regular ones.

    I have not come across this in my readings. It could be true, I don't know for sure. I just went off of my own experiences. Let me know if you pick up an article that states this.
