Why can’t pills be smaller ?

391 views

Hello all, I was given Sprulina tablets as a health supplement to take. The recommendation is 3-9 per day and they’re 100% spriulina, 1 tablet is 1000mg. I’d say they’re on the relatively larger size of pill. So I was wondering can these be made smaller or is there a limitation?

E.G. Can it be produced that I’d only take 1 tablet vs 9 tablets per day? Like a super concentrated tablet.

Best,

I don’t know anything about spirulina specifically, but one reason to split the pills up is how much you can absorb. Bioavailability. Example, Spinach has a decent amount of iron in it but we cant absorb it all from the spinach.

I would make the assumption it is split up because if you put a full days amount of spirulina in one pill, you’d probably pee most of it out.
