Why sublingually?

[Vilyamo]

Got some glicine supplement, and it says in theinstruction that I should take it sublingually, and not swallow it.What difference does it make? Is there any real reason for me to keepthe tablet under the tongue until it dissolves?

 

[Lev Butlerov]

This is a more efficient way of delivering the active substances into the blood, since in the tongue we have lots of arteries, and the supplement will get absorbed directly into the blood stream without getting absorbed. That means that it gets to work faster, and all it interacts with are the enzymes in the saliva, which are less aggressive then the acids in the stomach.

lev answered you.

when you use sarm's though you don't need to do that, you just swallow right away

There are membranes under the tongue and some chems and supps are best absorbed this way.

It is just for better absorption. I would follow the instructions on the product.

Whenever you take something sublingually (or inject it for that matter) it's instantly absorbed into the blood stream and bypasses the digestive system.

It basically just makes the supplement be absorbed better.

That is really insightful - did not know that! So can I take other supplements and meds the same way, even if they don't tell to take them this way?

 

[SteveMobsterG]

No. Just those it's recommenced for - hence the hole to swallow food and one to breath ha ha
