When faced with the option of getting supplements in pill form or powder, what do you guys like to go with?
Are there any downsides or advantages to using one over the other (such as efficiency of absorption)?

I prefer powder, just because I hate swallowing pills.

I think it depends on the pill you take whether or not it digests quicker.

it actually depends on the type of pill it is, compacted pills generally aren't that good to take because they don't breakdown well in the stomach and you don't get a lot of the supplement, unless they use some sort of breakdown technology (ex: MT's NaNox9, trust me I don't like MT but this is for example) it is a compact pill but they engineered it to break down instantaniously. If you gets capsules, they work pretty well because they breakdown pretty easily in the stomach and intestines. Powders have good absorption too, but the thing is that some powders breakdown too much (in a neg way) in the stomach and you don't get much of the supplement in your system.

to me i don't think there is much difference in absorbtion, but with powders i feel you get more for your money

goes to stated before, personal preference at a certain point.

THG, any particular supplements you've tried both forms of? What did you think?

[Tall HardGainer]

i've tried sizeon in both forms and actually like the powder better. I have also tried nitrix and noxplode (essentially the same product) and I like Nitrix a lot better. Really depends on the product sometimes, and others its preference.
