Why is Lean N Clean in a powder form? Why isn it in capsule form or tablet form?
Lean N Clean is a powder formulation (not capsule) because it is more effective in that dosage form for several reasons. Fiber supplements in capsule/tablet form are difficult to dissolve after swallowing. If the fibers in tablets do not dissolve quickly, water will soon leave the stomach, leaving the hard tablet behind and rendering it less effective. Fiber supplements work best when they are dissolved with water first to form a thin suspension before consumption. Because fiber expands, it must be taken with a large amount of water to prevent bowel obstruction and constipation.
