What it is
These are small tablets designed to dissolve under the tongue. The sublingual form is intended for direct absorption into the bloodstream through the tissues in the mouth, bypassing the digestive system. This method aims for efficient uptake of the nutrient.

To use, place one tablet under your tongue and allow it to dissolve completely. Do not chew or swallow the tablet whole. This process typically takes a few minutes. It is generally recommended to take one tablet per day, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Consistency in use is key for this type of supplement.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike chewable tablets or capsules that are swallowed, sublingual tablets are designed for absorption directly into the mouth. This bypasses the digestive tract, which can be beneficial for some individuals. The dissolution process is the primary difference in how the body receives the nutrient.
How to keep the rest
Store the remaining tablets in their original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to maintain freshness and prevent the tablets from degrading. Keep out of reach of children.
