Sublingual refers to a method of administering substances via the mouth in such a way that the substances are rapidly absorbed via the blood vessels under the tongue (the buccal mucosa) rather than via the digestive tract.
Sublingual absorption is generally much faster: Nutrients absorbed sublingually enter the bloodstream directly and can start working within minutes.
Sublingual absorption is generally more efficient: sublingually absorbed nutrition avoids exposure to the gastric system and liver, so that more of an administered dose is absorbed.
