Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 They do smell bad, no doubt but your pharmacist is wrong, you can take them sublingually and you will get much more consistent dosing doing it that way. But, you have to do it the way that works for you. Whether you swallow them or take them under your tongue, you need to be consistent and do it the same way every time. That way your body will be getting the same amount everyday and you adjust what you take to meet the needs of your body. If you have been swallowing it and switch you sublingual you will find that you need to take less to get the same affect, and if you take it sublingually and start swallowing you will find that you need more. I'm pulling together pics and descriptions of all the tabs to post a little later and will probably set up a spot on the web site for quick reference.
