Supplement with Sublingual Vitamins

Written on August 17, 2009 – 8:07 pm | by admin

Taking vitamin supplements can be an important way to improve one’s health or compensate for deficiencies in diet. Vitamins are available in a plethora of forms, including tablets, capsules, chewable vitamins, liquids, sprays, and dissolvable tabs. These various forms and their characteristics may themselves have as much impact on the efficacy of your vitamin regimen as do the vitamins you choose to take.

The form in which a vitamin is administered can have some direct repercussions on its effectiveness. Other factors dependent on the form are more indirect, but may still have an effect on your health. For example, some vitamins are difficult for the digestive system to handle when present in large quantities or when not included in a meal. Taking vitamins by swallowing capsules, pills, or liquids may cause indigestion. It’s also a proven fact that many forms of vitamins are not completely absorbed. You may take a 500mg supplement of Vitamin C, but only absorb 10% of that amount.

Sublingual vitamins are administered in such a way as to avoid several of these complications. “Sublingual” refers to the fact that rather than swallowing these supplements they are absorbed into the body through the mucous membrane under one’s tongue. This method completely bypasses any possibility of digestive difficulties, as the vitamins enter the bloodstream directly. Absorption rates for sublingual supplements approach 100%.
