Match the formula to physical format limits
Total daily load, flow, compressibility, taste and solubility behave differently across formats. Assess early whether the target dose requires one unit or multiple servings.
Consider the user and the use occasion
Swallowability, portability, preparation and flavour expectations affect adherence. Children, adults or professional channels may point to different formats for the same ingredient concept.
Plan packaging and shelf life together
Sensitivity to moisture, oxygen and light informs the choice between blister, bottle, sachet and unit-dose packs. Stability planning and logistics should accompany the format decision.
