Guest guest Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 A sublingual tablet is meant to be put under your tongue, and you should not swallow or drink until it dissolves (generally, when the taste is gone, they are pleasantly flavored if meant for sublingual use, yucky flavored if not meant for sublingual use). Think of it as a " transdermal patch " under your tongue - the intended action is absorbtion through the skin under your tongue (and to a lesser extent the muscous membranes in the rest of your mouth). The mucus membranes in your mouth and under your tongue absorb the supplement or drug, sending it into your bloodstream, thus " skipping " your digestive tract and going directly into your bloodstream. Things that are swallowed go through a host of enzymes as they travel through the digestive tract, first and second pass of liver metabolism, and finally end up in the blood - sublingual tablets, injections, and transdermal patches are meant to miss all of that to go right in the blood. As I mentioned earlier, this is really important for me, as I've gotten essentially instantaneous (within 2 minutes) action of drugs and supplements by taking them sublingually (one intended for that use, one not) as opposed to swallowed, which have taken 90 minutes or more to act for me. The regular swallowed form of NADH by ENADA does not work at all for me. Here's a sample site about sublingual administration: http://www.positivehealth.com/permit/Articles/Colon%20Health/lea13.htm I'm not a medical doctor, but this is my experience based on my mito journey and an engineering and science background.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Yes, now I only buy it online. The cost is really high off-line (at the local health food store). I buy ENADAlert from the manufacturer, Birkmeyer: http://www.birkmayerusa.com/Shop.htm I buy (120) 10-mg sublingual tablets. ENADAlert is the sublingual kind, I think they also sell a regular tablet form (which doesn't work at all for me). I used to shop around and find better prices, but they changed manufacturing processes, and I think a lot of stores dropped the product.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Hi RH Is it necessary to take the sublingual tablet on an empty stomach as you have to do with the regular tablet? ( I suppose most of it will end up in the stomach sooner or later!? And I am worried about my sensible stomach). Do you have any gastrointestinal side effects?

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Your stomach situation doesn't matter, the only thing is that you can't take it while eating or drinking. You can put it under your tongue after eating, or before, but it has to be completely dissolved before eating or drinking again. You need to keep track as to whether there is any of the sublingual tablet left under your tongue (like the sublingual NADH I use says it only takes a few minutes to dissolve, but it can take up to 10 minutes for me). I don't have any gastrointestinal side effects from the sublingual NADH, but YMMV. All of the sublingual tablet is intended to stay in your mouth, under your tongue preferably - it just dissolves under the tongue. None should be swallowed.
