Is there any advantage of buying the powder over the capsules. The capsules are cheaper and easier.

I love the powder in hot milk in the evening, but have not tried the capsules.

The only advantage of the powder is the great taste if mixed with yogurt and sweetener to make a low calorie chocolate pudding substitute or you could try a hot or cold chocolate milk drink. The chocolate drink is also good if after you've heated the drink you add instant coffee.

That's true but I buy the unsweetened powder for the flavor. I have put it in my coffee for a rich chocolate taste and now I put it in my chocolate protein drinks that I make for the added chocolate taste too, I hope this helps. If you need further info-let me know. Good luck!

Capsule much better, better absorption. The seller for axon says tablet, but I am on subscription and have received it about 6 times and all were capsule.

Check the expiration date before purchasing if there is one. If taken daily per directions there shouldn't be an issue of them expiring. I looked at the "ingredients" on the packaging to see the difference, it gives a list of everything that is contained in the capsule. You can do this by clicking on the item and reading all the information regarding product. It appears that the main ingredients are basicly the same but check this out for yourself to be sure.

I've taken both and I don't see a great deal of difference between the two. I take the 20% now and take fewer pills of it.

It depends on your preferences - the formula is the same in both. My husband has difficulty taking pills & already takes a fair number of other supplements, so adding another 12 pills to his daily regimen was out of the question. With the powder form, you only do a scoop once a day, and it's slightly cheaper per day than the pills. Some people have trouble mixing it with juice (to camouflage the so-called "citrus" taste), but we have a stick immersion blender that works pretty well. The only thing I can say is that I'm glad I don't have to take it. I'm very sensitive to smells, and every time my husband mixes his "concoction", I can't stand the smell! He doesn't seem to mind, though. It depends on your preferences - the formula is the same in both.

I dont know why its cheaper, prices definitely vary depending on brands and sizes of supply. I also haven't used a more expensive brand but I can tell you that this brand has worked for me. It has dramatically suppressed my appetite without side effects which has made dieting easier and I have been losing weight. Inexpensive doesn't always mean lesser quality!

They changed the formula for the capsules it's new. I don't particularly like the new ones they don't work the same to me. However it is my own opinion,it may work fine for others.

Mainly the flavor. The flavor of the liquid is not great, where as the powder is better tasting, but does have a somewhat chalky texture. It's not bad and I definitely prefer the powder over the liquid form.Also, with the powder you may be able to mix with other supplements like proteins or possibly a powder multivitamin.

I just swallow the capsules whole, they're a little on the large side but manageable. I don't know if it will reduce the effectiveness if you mix the powder with something.

As far as I know, yes they do contain the same amount of product as the regular capsules. The smaller capsules are easier to "pill" your pet with. I had to break open the capsules and add the powder to my cat's food, whether regular size or small size, because my cat was not very happy having a capsule sent down her throat twice a day, but yes, the small capsules are supposed to contain the same amount of product as the regular capsules.

HI, The capsules are not big. The tablets maybe cheaper, but the capsules may dissolve better. Happiness...

I'm pretty sure they are the same, however the company has put out a new smaller capsule that I believe the owner told me was for women. The ingredients are identical on the label though, aren't they. It works just fine for me.

Depends on how you define "better". Quality should be identical. However, powder is almost always economical, and once you start using Theanine every time you have some coffee like I do, that can make a difference. I use Theanine specifically with coffee. And when I make coffee I follow the bulletproof method of blending it with grass fed butter and coconut oil. Adding 200mg of Theanine makes it super bulletproof, and it's easy to add since I'm blending everything. If I weren't blending it, I would probably prefer capsules because it doesn't mix that we'll otherwise.

I have not noticed a difference - have used two bottles of the syrup and am now trying capsules - am I wasting my money - I'm not sure.

The capsules come in convenient foil-safe packets (similar to OTC Mucinex packaging), personally prefer capsules any day over powder. The powder tends to give the 'gag' effect trying to swallow it.

I like the powder. You don't pay for the packaging and the supply lasts longer.

I'm no expert, but prefer capsules/caplets over liquid. It is less messy, more portable(for trips), and easy to take.
