Why AAS Direct Carries Bouwen Capsules Instead of Tablets

The Science Behind a Superior Formulation

At AAS Direct, we are committed to offering only the highest-quality products, which is why we proudly carry Bouwen’s capsule formulations. A common question we receive is:

“Why are Bouwen’s products in capsules instead of the traditional tablets I’m used to?”

This page explains why Bouwen’s capsule formulation is superior and why we at AAS Direct stand behind it as an authorized distributor.

Why Bouwen Uses Capsules Instead of Tablets

While both capsules and tablets serve as delivery systems for active ingredients, they have distinct differences in absorption, bioavailability, and digestive impact.

Factor	Bouwen Capsules	Traditional Tablets
Absorption Speed	Faster—dissolves quickly for rapid uptake	Slower—binders and compressed ingredients delay breakdown
Additional Ingredients	Minimal—only active ingredient and absorption enhancers	Contains binders, fillers, and artificial coatings
Digestibility	Easier on the stomach, dissolves naturally	May cause irritation due to fillers and hardeners
Fat-Soluble Compound Optimization	Uses MCT oil for enhanced absorption	No fat carriers, reducing bioavailability
Purity & Quality	No unnecessary additives or fillers	Often includes artificial stabilizers

Bouwen’s decision to use capsules over tablets is based on scientific research showing that capsules provide superior absorption and bioavailability—ensuring you get the most effective product possible.

Superior Absorption & Bioavailability with Bouwen Capsules

Fat-Soluble Hormones Require Fat for Maximum Absorption

Many of the compounds found in Bouwen products—such as Aromasin (Exemestane), Proviron (Mesterolone), and other anabolic and hormonal compounds—are fat-soluble, meaning they require fats to be effectively absorbed by the body.

Why This Matters

Without fat, fat-soluble compounds struggle to pass through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream.

Tablets lack fat carriers, leading to lower absorption rates.

Bouwen capsules contain fractionated MCT oil, which enhances absorption by providing the necessary fat matrix for the active ingredient.

MCT Oil as a Carrier for Enhanced Bioavailability

Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are widely used in pharmaceutical lipid-based drug delivery systems because they significantly enhance absorption and bioavailability.

MCT oil bypasses first-pass metabolism, leading to greater absorption of active compounds.

A study in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences found that lipid-based drug formulations (like MCT oil) improve the uptake of fat-soluble hormones and steroids.

By using fractionated powdered MCT oil, Bouwen ensures more effective delivery of the active ingredient compared to traditional tablets.

BioPerine (Black Pepper Extract) for Absorption Enhancement

Bouwen also includes BioPerine (piperine extract) in its capsule formulations to further enhance bioavailability.

Studies show that piperine increases the absorption of fat-soluble compounds by 30-200%.

Piperine works by inhibiting digestive enzymes that break down drugs too quickly, allowing for higher systemic absorption.

A study published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry found that piperine enhances the absorption of multiple pharmaceutical compounds through increased intestinal permeability.

Bouwen capsules use a two-part absorption strategy:

MCT oil to support fat-soluble compound absorption
BioPerine to enhance intestinal uptake and bioavailability

Why Bouwen Capsules Are Easier on Digestion Than Tablets

Many customers report that traditional hard tablets can cause digestive discomfort, bloating, or slow absorption. This is often due to the binders and fillers used in tablet formulations.

Tablets require binders and artificial hardeners (such as magnesium stearate, talc, or silicon dioxide) to hold their shape.

These additives can slow digestion and may cause stomach irritation.

Bouwen capsules dissolve naturally in the digestive tract, leading to faster onset of action and improved gut tolerance.

Additional Digestive Benefits of Capsules Over Tablets:

No artificial coatings or unnecessary additives
Easier to swallow compared to compressed tablets
Gentler on the stomach with a natural digestion process

Quality & Testing: Bouwen’s Commitment to Purity
