About Healthycell

Healthycell's premise is about delivery rather than ingredients. Instead of tablets, capsules or powders, its products come as gel packs in a format the company calls MICROGEL, which suspends nutrients as very small soluble particles. The argument is that pill formats compress dry, dense material, and that a gel starts out closer to the state the body works with.

What we stock

• Eye Health, a 30 count lutein and zeaxanthin formula, the one product in the line aimed at ocular health.
• AM PM Healthspan, a 30 day supply split into separate morning and evening packs.
• Immune Support Boost, 30 gel packs.
• Calm Mood, in 14 and 30 counts.
• REM Sleep, 30 gel packs.

Who the format suits

Anyone who dislikes swallowing capsules is the obvious audience, and so is anyone already taking several other pills each day who would rather not add more. Gel packs are single serving, which also removes the counting: one pack is one serving, and there is no bottle to portion out.

How to choose

If you arrived from a dry eye or macular page, Eye Health is the one to look at, and it sits in our AREDS and Macular Support category next to formulas from other brands so you can compare ingredient panels directly. The rest of the line is general wellness and can sit alongside it. Calm Mood is worth trying in the 14 count before committing to the 30 if you have never used a gel pack.

As with any supplement, read the panel against everything else you already take, and put that question to your physician or eye care professional rather than working it out alone.
